Hi friends!

Now that Squish is in preschool two mornings a week, that means we have two mornings where we actually have to be somewhere on time. As I’ve mentioned before, Squish loves breakfast…but man does he take his sweet time eating it some mornings. So I’ve been looking for breakfast options I can have on hand to get ready quickly so that when he takes forever to eat, it doesn’t put us behind schedule.

These Baked Oatmeal French Toast Sticks certainly fit the bill. They give me a little bit of nostalgia for the french toast sticks we used to have back when I was in school…except these are healthier….AND both my kids gobble them up!

These Banana Baked Oatmeal French Toast Sticks are a healthy, kid-friendly breakfast recipe. They can even be made ahead of time, stored in the freezer and reheated in the microwave!

A few good things about this recipe:

  • It’s pretty flexible so your measurements don’t have to be exact.
  • If you don’t feel like making the french toast sticks, you can just make the baked oatmeal and call it a day. Cut it into sticks or squares or whatever floats your boat.
  • You can easily make it ahead of time and store in the fridge OR the freezer.
  • They’re easy to customize. Drizzle with peanut butter, dip them in syrup or yogurt, mix in some chocolate chips or blueberries…you get the idea.
  • You could easily add some other nutritious mix-ins like ground flax, chia seeds, etc!

Pretty simple right?! I hope you guys enjoy these! They’re going to be a staple in my freezer for sure. I tested the recipe with and without peanut butter and also froze them as both french toast sticks and just plain baked oatmeal sticks and they all worked fine!

    We have the same issue in our house – my girls LOVE to take their sweet time eating breakfast! And now that they have a 7:30 bus to catch they don’t have that time! Baked oatmeal and baked oatmeal muffins are two of my go-to make ahead breakfasts. Love the idea to turn them into French toast!
