Blueberry French Toast

If French toast is your family’s jam on the weekend, this French toast recipe has soaked up loads of blueberry flavor in every bite.

Easy Blueberry French Toast

Making French toast is quite easy and with this recipe, you’ll enjoy the blueberry flavors within the toast itself as well as the simple sauce for topping.

Unlike when you make Blueberry Pancakes, you can’t add whole blueberries inside the French toast because it’s not like pancake batter. 

The easiest way is to make an easy blueberry sauce and then use that when soaking up the French toast in the egg liquid and the rest for topping when serving.

What You Need

With just a few simple ingredients, you’ll be able to make blueberry French toast. Make sure you have:

• Eggs: the base of any French toast liquid mixture that will be soaked up by the bread.
• Milk: to thin out the whisked eggs. Use any milk you typically use.
• Vanilla extract: for flavor. Is it even French toast without it?
• Salt: a pinch to enhance the vanilla and sweetness.
• Cinnamon: optional, a little goes a long way.
• Bread: use thick Texas toast, Italian bread, country loaf, or sliced sourdough.
• Blueberries: fresh or frozen to make the easy blueberry sauce.
• Sugar or honey: a little to sweeten the blueberry sauce.
• Cornstarch: a bit to thicken the sauce giving it the perfect syrup consistency.

How to Make Blueberry French Toast

The main difference between making classic French toast and the blueberry version is that you’ll need to make the blueberry sauce first. Here are all the easy steps:

1. Make the blueberry sauce
   In a medium saucepan, bring water, sugar or honey, and blueberries to a boil. Stir occasionally. Reduce heat and simmer for about 10 minutes. Make a slurry and add it to the mixture. Turn off the heat and let it sit for 5 minutes to thicken.
2. Make the soaking mixture: 
   In a large, wide bottom bowl, beat eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla, salt, and cinnamon with wire whisk until smooth. Pour in ⅓ cup of the blueberry sauce and whisk until combined. Reserve the rest of the sauce for topping.
3. Cook the French Toast:
   Quickly dip the bread slices into the blueberry egg mixture, just enough to soak up some of the mixture on each side. Immediately, place bread slices on the greased hot pan and cook.
4. Serve
   Serve the cooked French toast slices with a little butter and drizzle blueberry syrup on top.
