Another great recipe to teach your kids to make during the summer is French toast. This Easy Blender French Toast is a great option because the batter comes together right in the blender, making it simple and ensuring everything mixes smoothly and evenly. It is one of those recipes that feels almost foolproof, making it perfect for beginner cooks and a fun way to build confidence in the kitchen.
I especially love this recipe because it feels like a combination of two favorites. My momâs French toast recipe includes sugar in the batter, which gives it a little extra sweetness and flavor. My fluffy French toast recipe uses flour in the egg batter, which helps create a thicker coating and gives the French toast that soft, fluffy texture. This version brings those ideas together into one easy recipe that is simple to make and turns out delicious every time.
Ingredients for Easy Blender French Toast
- EGGS – Eggs are the base of the French toast batter and help create that classic custardy coating. They give the French toast structure and help it cook up rich and tender.
- MILK – Milk helps thin the batter to the right consistency so it coats the bread evenly. It also adds moisture and helps create a soft texture inside the French toast.
- ALL-PURPOSE FLOUR – The flour helps thicken the batter and gives the French toast a slightly fluffier coating. It is one of the ingredients that helps this version stand out from a more basic French toast recipe.
- GRANULATED SUGAR – Sugar adds a touch of sweetness right into the batter. It also helps give the French toast a little extra flavor and a lightly golden finish as it cooks.
- SALT – Salt balances the sweetness and brings out the flavors of the other ingredients. Even a small amount makes the batter taste more complete.
- GROUND CINNAMON – Cinnamon gives the French toast that warm, cozy flavor everyone expects. It adds just the right amount of spice without overpowering the recipe.
- VANILLA EXTRACT – Vanilla adds a sweet, warm flavor that makes the batter taste even better. It is a simple ingredient, but it really helps round out the overall flavor.
- BREAD – The bread soaks up all that flavorful batter. Thicker bread usually works best because it holds up well and gives you a soft inside with a nicely cooked outside.
Instructions for Easy Blender French Toast
Start by preheating your griddle to 350 degrees, or heat a large skillet over medium heat. Make sure the cooking surface is lightly greased so the French toast cooks up golden and does not stick.
In a blender, combine the eggs, milk, flour, sugar, salt, cinnamon, and vanilla. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth. Using the blender makes this batter extra easy and helps everything mix together really well. If you prefer to mix it by hand, start by whisking the flour and eggs together in a shallow bowl or dish, then whisk in the remaining ingredients until the batter is smooth.
Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, making sure both sides are coated well. Then place the coated bread onto the hot griddle or skillet.
Cook for a few minutes on the first side, until the bottom is golden brown. Flip and cook the other side until golden brown as well, then cook through in the center.
Remove the French toast to a plate and serve it warm with butter and maple syrup. This recipe serves about 4 to 5 people.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why use a blender for French toast batter?
Using a blender makes the batter smooth and helps everything mix together quickly and evenly. It is also a great option for beginner cooks because it makes the process extra simple.
What kind of bread works best for French toast?
A thicker bread usually works best because it holds up well when dipped in the batter. Texas toast, brioche, French bread, or even thick sandwich bread can all work well. However, when I made this for the photo, I used regular sandwich bread (Grandma Sycamores).
Why is there flour in the batter?
The flour helps thicken the coating and gives the French toast a slightly fluffier texture.
Can I make this recipe sweeter or less sweet?
Yes. You can adjust the sugar a little depending on your preference, especially if you know you will be serving it with syrup.
Can I make this recipe ahead of time?
French toast is best served fresh, but you can keep it warm in a low oven for a short time if needed.
Can I freeze leftover French toast?
Yes. Let it cool, then freeze it in a single layer or with parchment between slices. Reheat in the toaster, oven, or air fryer.
Can kids help make this recipe?
Yes. This is a great recipe for kids to help with, especially since the batter is so easy to blend together.
Tips and Tricks
- Use a thicker bread if possible. Thick-sliced bread holds up better in the batter and gives you the best texture.
- Blend the batter until completely smooth. This helps the flour mix in well and gives the French toast a nice even coating.
- Do not soak the bread too long. A quick dip on each side is usually enough so the bread does not get too soggy.
- Cook on a properly heated surface. A preheated griddle or skillet helps the French toast cook evenly and turn golden brown.
- Serve it right away. French toast is always best warm off the griddle with butter and syrup.
