Ahh… French Toast Sticks… what a nostalgic breakfast from my childhood. The modern day me longs for these kinds of sweet indulgent breakfast recipes, except healthier, so I decided to create a gluten-free, vegan, naturally sweetened, high-fiber version of a favorite growing up while still bringing all the comfort brekkie feels.
You’ll start by combining Gluten Free Organic Old Fashioned Rolled Oats from Bob’s Red Mill with fresh blueberries, cinnamon, cardamom, chia seeds, plant milk, maple syrup, banana, vanilla, and nut/seed butter then baking it in the oven for about 30 minutes. Cool the baked oatmeal and then slice into sticks.
The oatmeal can also be made the night before for a quicker morning breakfast routine, and actually I preferred doing this as the oatmeal was able to set up just a bit more. Then you’ll cook the French toast sticks on a nonstick griddle/skillet in a little bit of vegan butter/coconut oil until they brown and crisp on the outside, just like you would with traditional French Toast Sticks!

Why enjoy this baked oatmeal as French Toast Sticks? Well, for one- it’s fun! I mean, who doesn’t love French Toast Sticks?! Two, it’s a great way to get more fiber into your diet! Between Bob Red Mill’s Gluten Free Organic Old Fashioned Rolled Oats and the other fiber-rich plant-based ingredients you’re getting a great serving of fiber and plant-based protein! Three- it changes up the habitual bowl of oatmeal in a fabulous new way, besides, the kids just love them! It’s also a great way to sneak more fiber and plant-based protein to their diets as well #winning! Need I go on? Four- you can freeze them for another breakfast for later in the week! #winningagain You get it… these Blueberry Oatmeal French Toast Sticks rock!
My go-to for many products I use is from Bob’s Red Mill, particularly their Gluten Free Organic Old Fashioned Rolled Oats. To ensure they’re suitable for those with celiac or a gluten intolerance, their oats are handled in their dedicated gluten-free facility and tested in their laboratory to verify they meet their strict standards which gives me confidence they are free from gluten and possible cross contamination. And I do try to buy organic whenever possible, so I’m super excited these oars are also certified organic meeting the strict requirements of the USDA’s Organic Program.
The American is so deficient in fiber so I’ve been trying to be more intentional about including higher fiber foods into my diet whenever I can. There are even parts of the world, mostly undeveloped countries that have such a high-fiber intake there is no signs of chronic disease like we see here in America! Oats are a great source of soluble fiber, which can help keep your digestive system on track and may prevent the risk of certain chronic diseases- and what a fun way to include more fiber with these Blueberry Oatmeal French Toast Sticks!
I hope you enjoy this version of French Toast Sticks as much as I do! I can’t wait to hear what you think so be sure to rate this recipe, leave a comment below and tag me on Instagram or Facebook when you make them!

Since I „discovered“ this recipe about 2 weeks ago, I have done it at least 4 times. I freeze it to have a healthy snack in the afternoon. Actually I have never tried it with blueberries, but plums, pears and my favourite apple with apricots. The best combo. The sweetness of the apple and the sourness of the apricot is genius.
Hi Helen! I am so glad you like this recipe and I LOVE your versions using plums, pears, and apples with apricots! Sounds so delicious. Thanks for your comment! 🙂
