Crunchy French Toast is a cereal crusted french toast recipe that’s a delicious twist on an old classic. Thick slices of bread are dipped in a cinnamon batter and then coated in crushed cereal. This is sure to become your family’s new favorite breakfast!
I am a huge fan of Classic French Toast, but I must say that adding crispy crunchiness to the outside just takes it to a new level. My kids love all my breakfast recipes, but whenever I make this it’s always accompanied by praises of, “Mom this is the best French Toast ever!” .

CRUNCHY FRENCH TOAST
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2/3 cup milk
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 8 thick slices bread (like Texas Toast)
- 2 heaping cups crispy rice cereal or crushed corn flakes
- Preheat griddle to 350 degrees F or or heat a skillet over medium heat.
- Add cereal to a shallow pie dish or plate. Add all ingredients, except the bread and cornflakes to a blender or to a shallow dish and whisk well to combine. If whisking by hand, it's okay if the flour doesn't mix in completely smooth.
- Add the batter and the cereal to two separate shallow dishes. Dip each piece of bread into the egg mixture on both sides and then press gently into the cereal, flipping to coat both sides.
- Melt a small piece of butter in a skillet or griddle over medium heat (or grease with cooking spray). Place the bread slices on the hot skillet and cook for a few minutes until golden on the bottom and then flip and cook on the other side.
- Serve warm with your your favorite syrup.
