Kids love dunking. So any time you can deliver a dip or sauce alongside tasty food, you’ve got a winner. This recipe reinvents French toast for a kid-friendly feast.
French Toast Fingers are not only fun to dunk and down, they have the added advantage of fruit or vegetables in the batter and three luscious dipping sauces that are healthier than the old stand-by syrup. Each dip makes enough to serve all 6 portions of French toast. So pick one or triple the amount of French toast and make all three, and get ready to serve the whole neighborhood.
This recipe is part of Chef Andrew Schloss’ Edibly Fun, Easily Done series, a collection of nine kid-pleasing recipes.
