    🍯 Why This Recipe Works

    1. Simple ingredients. We use some basic and familiar french toast ingredients, but we also add a packet of muffin mix too.
    2. It's easy to make. While there is a slight learning curve to trying to dip the bread, after your first slice or two, you will really get the hang of it and be surprised by how easy this recipe is to make.
    3. It's a cheap way to add flavor. Muffin mix packets are always pretty frugal, so using them to add flavor to the french toast works out well for your budget. Not only that, but the dry mix helps to bind the egg mixture to the bread for fluffy results.

    🥘 Ingredients

    labeled ingredients needed to make muffin mix french toast.

    Ingredient Notes:

    Muffin Mix- Use a package of your favorite flavor of muffin mix for this recipe.

    Bread- Use some sliced sandwich bread for this recipe or some sliced french bread for thicker sliced french toast.

    For specific ingredients and measurements, please see the recipe card below.

    🧾 Substitutions

    Bread: You can use any sliced sandwich bread for this recipe, or you can use a loaf like french bread, slice thick, and then allow to sit and soak in the muffin batter for a minute or so before flipping and then cooking.

    📖 Variations

    You can use any flavored muffin mix for this recipe, so the end results are always different and unique! Use blueberry muffin mix, raspberry muffin mix, or any flavor you already have on hand.

    If you still have muffin mix leftover try our Muffin Mix Pancakes and Triple Berry Muffin Mix Cookies.

    🍴 Recipe Tips

    The batter for this french toast can be a bit thick, and the fruit or additions within the mix can often sink to the bottom of the bowl or pan where you rest the bread before cooking.

    To combat this, I recommend spooning some of the fallen berries or chocolates (whichever is in your muffin mix) over the top of the bread after flipping it and before lifting it out of the pan. This way, you can get some flavorful pieces on every slice.

    🍳 Reheating

    You can reheat your french toast on a microwave-safe plate for 1-2 minutes in the microwave (cooked in an even layer, not stacked.)

    🥗 Side Dishes

    Serve this delicious breakfast recipe up with your favorites like cooked eggs, Homemade Frozen Hashbrowns, bacon or sausage, etc. There are plenty of great options out there, and this recipe can pair with any of them to make a fabulous meal!

    ⏲️ Make Ahead Instructions

    The batter can be made ahead by preparing it and keeping it in an airtight container for up to 2 days in the fridge.

    👩🏻‍🍳 Storage

    Keep all leftover cooked french toast stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 or 5 days.

    You can freeze leftover french toast by laying it flat on a baking sheet and freezing it until solid (about 1-3 hours) and then transferring it to an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 months.

    💭 Recipe FAQs

    Do you cook French toast on high or low?

    You want to aim for a medium to low heat (about 350F) for french toast. The actual heat temp may vary as not all stoves or griddles run at the same heat. Adjust as needed, but keep in mind it may take one or two slices before finding the right setting for you. You don't want to overcook the outside and undercook the middle.

    How do you keep French toast crisp?

    By keeping your cooked french toast on a wire rack lined baking sheet in a warm oven (set to lowest heat setting) you can keep the french toast warm and crispy while cooking the remaining slices.

    Can you make French toast ahead of time and reheat?

    Absolutely! This is one of those recipes that does great for meal prep. Feel free to make enough for the week and just reheat as needed. Keep them stored in the fridge and enjoy.
