Cheerios French Toast Sticks

What kid wouldn’t love to eat cheerios and french toast for breakfast? Imagine if you combined the two you would be super mom (as if you weren’t already). I though of this recipe when I was in the supermarket and saw french toast sticks in the freezer section but I wanted to come up with my own version at home.

I added crushed cheerios to coat the french toast to give it a little crunch. Kids love anything they can eat with there hands especially if it has a crunchy coating.  I had the kids help me dip the bread and crush the cheerios.  They got the biggest kick in eating two breakfast in one. You can make this recipe with any of your kids favorite cereal.

Hope you enjoy eating and making them as much as we did!
