Is there anything better than the smells of vanilla and butter in the morning? These French toast bites are THE ULTIMATE breakfast/brunch recipe. They are simple, fun to make and you can serve them with three different styles of sauce to satisfy others even more!

Unlike regular French toast, this recipe asks to cut your bread in bite-size pieces, which means extra crunch in every bite!

I used vanilla bean in this recipe but feel free to add vanilla paste or extract instead.

These French toast bites are best to enjoy immediately while they are warm and crispy, but you can also refrigerate them for up to two days and reheat them before serving.
