Quick French Toast - Mug Recipe (plus a gift idea!)

If you missed my last post, let me catch you up:  Mug Recipes are great because they are single-serve recipes that are easy to make and take almost no time at all!

Today I'll share with you a really quick and easy breakfast Mug Recipe, and you'll get a great bonus at the end of this post, too, that makes a fun and unique gift idea!!

As with all the recipes here at Easy Pantry Recipes, this French toast recipe can be made with shelf-stable (pantry-friendly) ingredients, which means you can have these ingredients always on hand. 

But I think this is so much better than traditional French toast because it's much less mess! 

FRENCH TOAST IN A MUG

I used a multi-grain bread, but you can use any kind.

PREP TIME:  2 minutes
COOK TIME:  2 minutes

INGREDIENTS

• 2 slices of bread, cubed (While not a long-term storage item, most people have a loaf of bread in the pantry.  For homemade bread from pantry-friendly ingredients, try this delicious Easy Homemade Bread in An Hour and a Half or this Soft Two-and-a-Half-Hour Whole Wheat Bread)
• 1/4 c. pantry-friendly milk (I like this brand; or, you may use any type of milk you like, including non-pantry-friendly/fresh)
• equivalent of 1 reconstituted egg (Find the "scrambled egg mix" here or use 1 fresh egg, if preferred)
• 1/2 tsp. sugar or other sweetener
• 1/4 tsp. cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp. vanilla
• toppings such as jam, fruit, butter, or syrup (You can even get freeze-dried honey here.  See pantry-friendly butter/substitutions here.)

DIRECTIONS

Spray a large mug (at least 15 oz.) with cooking spray.  In the mug, whisk together all ingredients except bread cubes and toppings.  When well-mixed, push each bread cube into the mixture, coating thoroughly.  Microwave 90 seconds.  Top with desired toppings. 

AND A FUN GIFT IDEA 

with an awesome bonus:

A couple of years ago, I decided that putting this recipe right on a 15-oz. mug would make such a fun gift idea!  This microwavable mug is big enough to stir the ingredients and then eat from.  I created the mug using Artisan digital scrapbooking software, then submitted it for professional printing at the Forever Print Shop.  

Just like the Loaded Baked Potato Soup in a Mug that I shared last time, I love how it turned out!

I've made this mug available for ordering, so if you think this would make a great gift idea, too, it's easy to do.  (You will love the price!)  

All you need to do is find the mug at this link and then click the "add to cart" button above it.  (If there's a current sale, the sale price will be shown.)  You'll then be prompted to open a (free) Forever account, and *you will receive a $20 coupon after you verify your email address, which you can use toward this mug (or even two!).

What a great bonus to get this mug *free, right?!

*Forever offers $20 coupons to new users.
