Method
- Add the banana, cinnamon, non-dairy milk, and maple syrup to a blender or food processor. Blend until completely smooth.
- Pour the batter into a wide, shallow bowl.

- Heat a small amount of coconut oil or vegan butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat.
- Quickly dip each bread stick into the batter, coating all sides. Shake off any excess.
- Place the coated bread sticks in the skillet in a single layer.
- Cook for about 2–3 minutes per side, turning as needed, until golden brown on all sides and heated through.
- Serve warm.

Notes
Slightly stale bread works best because it absorbs the batter without becoming overly soggy.
Avoid soaking the bread in the batter. A quick dip is enough.
For easier meal prep, allow the cooked French toast sticks to cool completely, freeze them in a single layer, then transfer them to a freezer-safe container. Freeze for up to 3 months.
For the crispiest leftovers, reheat frozen French toast sticks in an air fryer, toaster oven, or oven.
