I love breakfast.
We’re talking, serious, unconditional, I’ll drop anything to be with you, love.
This is a slight issue in our house as Mr.MoreThanYourAverageMom doesn’t share the same breakfast love as I do. Luckily for me however, as the primary cook in this house, I make the rules!
So when Momma wants breakfast, Momma gets breakfast!
This recipe is essentially the same as my other Bento Bread Scrap French Toast Recipe, only this time I prepared it in my President’s Choice large silicone muffin pan. This is a great modification as not only are the mini french toast’s more esthetically pleasing, they are easier to freeze to enjoy later!
Ingredients:
- 6 cups roughly chopped bread scraps
- 4 large eggs, beaten
- 1/3 cup pancake mix
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 Tbsp cinnamon
- 1 Tbsp vanilla
- 1 tsp nutmeg
- 1 tsp ground cloves
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees
- Coarsely shop bread (I use frozen bread scraps left over from bento making)
- Mix all ingredients into large bowl
- Once all bread is coated in egg mixture, spoon into ungreased silicone muffin pan (if you’re not using silicone I’d recommend greasing as the bread will likely stick) until just overflowing.
- Bake for 15 minutes, or until tops are just beginning to brown.
- Serve while hot, topped with Chobani greek yogurt and fresh fruit compote! Mmmmmmm!
note: Next time I make this I will add 1/3 cup of apple sauce to the ingredients as I found the french toast to be a touch on the dry side… I also lost track of time and overcooked slightly though so that probably added to the dryness.

I went to the sleepy panda restaurant yesterday and I had a french toast, the taste was really delicious. I will try to make it according to your recipe.
