It's very easy to turn regular French toast into amazing French toast just by dragging it through some breakfast cereal. The corn flakes add a light crunch that tastes great and looks interesting and fun. This recipe also works great with cinnamon raisin bread. Enjoy!





How To Make Corn Flake French Toast

In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, sugar and cinnamon.

In a shallow bowl or on a plate, spread out the crushed corn flakes. If using coconut, mix it together with the corn flakes.

Please Note: If you decide not to use the optional coconut, you should increase the amount of corn flakes to about 3/4 cup.

Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat.

Dip each slice of bread in egg mixture, then in the the crushed corn flakes.

Brown in skillet until light golden brown on both sides.

Serve with maple syrup, honey or jam.


This French toast had a mild crunch that makes it very special. Coconut is optional but recommended.

Mr Breakfast would like to thank CornFlake for this recipe.

Halve the coconut, add vanilla. Whole un-crushed Rice Krispies can be used in place of crushed corn flakes. I like to add a few dashes of black pepper. All that said, best French toast I've ever had.

Can dessicated coconut be used? Is it the same? Has anyone tried it?

Halve the coconut item and utilize unsalted butter. Let the folks know to preheat the oiled skillet to medium high or 300 degrees. It is all about the labor of love....!!!!!

This is the best french toast I have ever made... instead of using regular corn flakes I used the frosted ones... different but very good!

Fantastic! I made this with a little nutmeg too and no coconut. Goes GREAT with some fresh strawberries and powdered sugar and a tiny bit of syrup!

My mother made this recipe for me some time ago. I believe she got it from a corn flakes box. I had been wondering exactly how she made it... now I know. It is really very good, and as I recall, I didn't even need syrup. I also think it would be good with a little powdered sugar sprinkled on top, or maybe some stewed raspberry/blackberries on top.
