Espresso Baked French Toast Sticks with Mocha Sauce

Baked in flavorful espresso and drizzled with a sweet mocha glaze, these easy baked french toast sticks are a coffee-lover’s dream breakfast!

I am now officially french toast sticks biggest.fan.ever. Leave it to the coffee to get that ball rolling.

Literally though, like coffee in every single corner of these french toast sticks. I’m not mad about it.

I’ll gladly take a little french toast with my coffee.

But hey, I definitely wouldn’t complain about copious amounts of both. Send it all over here.

So guys, we have a LOT of french toast ground to cover today. We need to talk about the fact that this is obviously a good Monday since I’m on spring break and if I literally wanted to, I could just sit in bed and eat these french toast sticks all day.

I might do it.

Here’s how it’s done. >>> Bread strips get dunked in a standard french toast egg mixture that I kick up with tons of espresso. Everything gets cozy on one pan and it’s into the oven with all of it.

Meanwhile over here in sauce land…the more coffee the merrier right? So mocha sauce it is.

And like lots of it too? Yes please and with powdered sugar crowning the whole glorious french toast sticks wonder.

Spring break breakfast of the chaaaaaamps? Yes.
