Ever woken up on a Saturday, craving something sweet but not wanting a big fuss in the kitchen? That’s me, about, well, every other weekend. If you’re hunting for a french toast with cinnamon and honey recipe that nails that warm, sticky-sweet breakfast magic, you’re in the right spot. No tricky ingredients. No chef skills required. Just a simple, cozy, possibly life-changing breakfast (seriously). I’ll let you in on a few of my best tricks, too. Trust me, this one’s pure comfort on a plate.

Honey French Toast Ingredients

Okay, don’t overthink this. You’re probably staring at most of these right now—in your pantry or fridge. Here’s what I grab:

Thick-sliced bread (yes, sandwich bread works, but something like brioche? Even better)
2-3 eggs
Splash of milk (adds that custardy vibe)
Good honey, not just the little bear squeeze bottle (but honestly, use what you’ve got)
Ground cinnamon
Pinch of salt
Butter, for the pan (this stuff makes magic happen)

You’ll want honey both in the mix and drizzled on top. Trust me, that little extra goes a long way. If you’re fancy, splurge on floral or local honey—makes everything taste brighter. I’ve tried it all and haven’t regretted a thing.

How to Make Easy French Toast

Confession: I used to think French toast was some kind of restaurant secret. Turns out, it’s refreshingly unfussy. Just whisk up your eggs, milk, cinnamon, a spoonful of honey, and salt in a shallow bowl. Dunk your bread quickly (let it soak if it’s a very thick slice—do not drown it though), then fry in a hot, buttery skillet. Aim for golden on both sides. If you flip it and it’s wobbly, flip it again. No shame.

I like using medium heat—too hot and you’ll scorch everything, plus your smoke alarm will start yelling at you (literally me, last Christmas). Once both sides are crisp and a little puffy, boom, you’re almost done.

What Are the Best Toppings For French Toast?

So, here’s where you go from “oh, French toast” to “did you buy this from a five-star brunch place?” No, you did not. Your kitchen just smells absurdly good.

Personal top picks (I’ll fight for these):

Fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, even a handful of grapes in a pinch)
Sliced bananas or peaches. Caramelized if you’re ambitious.
Toasted nuts or granola for crunch. Not both, unless you’re feeling wild.
Extra honey or a quick dusting of powdered sugar for sparkle.

Want a real breakfast memory? Top with a dollop of whipped cream or vanilla yogurt. Little kids lose their minds over this combo. Grown-ups too, honestly.

“Tastes like having dessert for breakfast, but it doesn’t feel like cheating. 10/10, will definitely make again!” – Jenny, actual neighbor who tried this last weekend.

How To Make Flavoured Creamed Honey?

Ever had that honey that’s spreadable, fluffy, somehow even more delicious than regular? That’s creamed honey. And it’s stupidly easy to flavor at home.

Just stir room-temp honey (a cup or two) with a pinch of cinnamon, or a splash of vanilla (even lemon zest works, just a tiny bit). Mix until it looks cloudy and thick. Stash it in a jar. Use it everywhere—especially slathered over French toast.

Last summer, I made cinnamon-orange creamed honey and it was gone in a week. People got weirdly competitive over the last bit.

Tips & Notes

Alright, friends, pay attention for this part:

Old bread actually works better. Not kidding. Slightly stale = soaks up custard like a sponge.
Don’t skimp on the butter on your pan. That’s where the gold happens.
If you wanna go dairy-free, swap milk for almond or oat milk. I promise it still works (tried for my lactose-intolerant cousin).

Random extra: If making a big batch, keep finished slices warm in the oven on low. Otherwise, you’ll be stuck eating cold toast while everyone else digs in. Nobody wants that.

Common Questions

Q: Can I prep this the night before?
A: You can mix up the eggy-cinnamon batter ahead, but don’t soak the bread until you’re ready to cook or it gets really mushy.

Q: Is honey healthier than syrup?
A: I’m clearly not a dietitian, but honey does have more going for it. It’s less processed and has a deeper flavor. Still, don’t overdo it—it’s sweetness either way.

Q: What bread is best?
A: Brioche or challah are amazing. French bread works too. Even sturdy sandwich bread in a pinch.

Q: Can I freeze leftovers?
A: Exact answer: absolutely. Cool the slices, layer them with parchment in a bag, and reheat in the toaster or oven.

Q: My French toast always turns out soggy. Help?
A: Egg mix probably too thin, or bread was too soft. Try a bit less milk or use thicker, slightly stale bread next time.
