Fruity French Toast Skewer Recipe: A fun Breakfast Idea

Looking to spice up your brunch menu? These Fruity French Toast Skewers are a fun and delicious option, perfect for tailgating parties, office gatherings, or even weekend breakfasts with kids.

French Toast Skewers: A Kid-Friendly Recipe

These skewers are healthy, easy to customize, and affordable. You’ll just need bread, eggs, cinnamon, cooking spray, fresh fruit, and skewers. I used gluten-free cinnamon raisin and gluten-free white bread, but feel free to use any bread that you like—even banana bread works for a unique twist!

I love how healthy and light these fruity french toast skewers are! They have protein, fiber, a good source of carbs, and antioxidants from the berries!

How to Make French Toast Skewers

Ingredients:

• • Bread: 14 slices (use your choice of bread, gluten-free if preferred)
  • Eggs: 7 large eggs (or 12 egg whites for a lighter option)
  • Cinnamon: 1 tbsp
  • Fruit: 1 cup each of blackberries, peaches (sliced), strawberries (sliced), and kiwi (optional to keep skin on)

Instructions:

• • Prep the Bread: Cut each slice into quarters.
  • Mix Eggs & Cinnamon: Whisk the eggs and cinnamon until fully combined.
  • Dip & Cook: Dip each bread square in the egg mixture, allowing it to soak for 20-30 seconds. Spray a pan with cooking spray and cook each square on medium-high for about 30 seconds per side, using two pans if needed to speed up the process.
  • Assemble the Skewers: Alternate French toast squares with fruit pieces on skewers. Customize with team colors, seasonal fruits, or your favorite flavors.

Kid-Friendly and Perfect for Parties

Making French toast skewers can be a fun family activity! I originally made these with the kids I nannied, and they loved assembling the skewers themselves. This interactive recipe is a great way to encourage picky eaters to enjoy a healthy, filling breakfast.

1. Add Seasonal Fall Spices: Mix cinnamon, nutmeg, and a pinch of cloves or pumpkin pie spice into the egg mixture for a cozy, autumnal flavor.
2. Use Pumpkin or Apple Bread: Swap regular bread for pumpkin or apple-cinnamon bread for an extra layer of fall flavor.
3. Incorporate Fall Fruits: Use seasonal fruits like apple slices, pear chunks, figs, or pomegranate arils instead of summer berries for a fall-inspired touch.
4. Serve with Maple or Caramel Sauce: A warm drizzle of maple syrup or caramel sauce will complement the fall spices and make the skewers even more comforting.
5. Top with Toasted Nuts: Sprinkle toasted pecans, walnuts, or almonds over the skewers for added crunch and a nutty, fall flavor.
6. Add a Dollop of Pumpkin Butter or Apple Butter: Serve each skewer with a side of pumpkin or apple butter for dipping—it’s a delicious way to enhance the fall vibes.
7. Decorate with Fall Garnishes: Garnish your platter with cinnamon sticks, mini pumpkins, or small fall leaves for a festive presentation.
8. Dust with Cinnamon Sugar: After cooking the French toast squares, sprinkle a light dusting of cinnamon sugar over them for a sweet, spiced finish that’s perfect for autumn.

These small touches will turn the skewers into a fall brunch centerpiece that everyone will love!

This recipe makes fourteen skewers.

If you don’t want to serve the french toast on skewers, you can add the french toast squares to a large serving bowl. A giant bowl of french toast square is a cute idea as well. And of course, they’re always best with syrup!
