Last Sunday, I was making my make ahead cinnamon freezer french toast and my husband commented about how good this new recipe was. I laughed and said that this was the same recipe I always use when I make french toast for the freezer.
We soon discovered that he had never eaten a piece because in all the years of me making these, my kids eat them so quickly that my husband had never even gotten to try one! It was a bit funny, especially when one of our older sons came forward and “confessed” to being the culprit behind eating most of them.

Sure enough, that same son ate most of a double batch of these ones in just a few days with a bit of help from his younger siblings. When you have a large family, delicious food like this doesn’t last long!

If you’re looking for more of a make ahead brunch the whole family can enjoy, our make ahead french toast casserole is perfect for this.
Cinnamon Freezer French Toast Recipe:
Ingredients:
- 1 loaf of bread (about 16 slices)
- 3 eggs
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1/4 tsp. cinnamon
- 1/8 tsp. nutmeg
- 1/2 tsp. vanilla
- zest of 1/2 an orange

Assembly instructions:
- Whisk together the milk, eggs, spices, vanilla, and orange zest. Heat a skillet or griddle to medium heat and grease with some olive oil. Dip each slice of bread in the egg mixture and cook on both sides until browned.
- Lay the cooked slices on a cookie sheet in a single layer. Place cookie sheet in freezer. By freezing them individually like this first, they won’t stick together in the bag and will be easy to remove one at a time.
- Once frozen, place slices in a large resealable freezer bag. Remove excess air, seal and freeze.

These make such an easy weekday breakfast. The french toast slices can be taken out one or two at a time and popped in the toaster or toaster oven. Top with syrup or fresh fruit.
When I make this, I use cinnamon bread from a local bakery and double or quadruple the recipe so that I can fill many bags with french toast in the freezer for busy morning. My kids love these and eat them almost as quickly as I can make them!

I like to serve mine with orange slices on the side as its a nice way to bring out the flavor of the orange zest in the french toast.
