Cinnamon Pecan French Toast Sticks
These Cinnamon Pecan Crunch French Toast Sticks take classic French toast and give it the best crunchy little upgrade. Toasty pecans, warm cinnamon, and brown sugar flavor coat the outside while the center stays soft and custardy. Dip them into the creamy vanilla bean yogurt and oh my gosh. SO GOOD.
