Time 30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

cooking spray
6 slices stale cinnamon bread (such as Thomas®)
1 cup milk
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ cup chocolate-hazelnut spread (such as Nutella®)
¼ cup fat free half-and-half
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
1 tablespoon corn syrup
1 pinch salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray it with cooking spray.
  • Cut each slice of bread into three sticks. Whisk together milk, egg, vanilla extract, and cinnamon in a large shallow dish. Dip each bread stick in the egg mixture quickly to avoid soaking the bread, yet coating it on all sides; shake off excess. Arrange bread sticks on the prepared baking sheet without them touching.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 8 minutes, flip them, spray lightly with cooking spray, and return to the oven until cooked through and golden brown, about 8 more minutes.
  • Meanwhile, whisk together hazelnut spread, half-and-half, cocoa powder, corn syrup, and salt in a small saucepan on medium-low heat. Bring to a boil and immediately remove pan from the heat, whisking until smooth.
  • Remove French toast sticks from the oven and serve warm with the chocolate dipping sauce.
