Get Ready For Back To School Breakfast With These Easy Make Ahead Cinnamon French Toast Sticks

These french toast sticks are just begging to be dunked in maple syrup!

I love homemade french toast.  It reminds me of Saturday mornings as a kid, and eating as many pieces as I could, until I felt like I was going to explode!  French toast sticks weren’t around until I was older though, and when these came out, Mom got a break, and I was in pure french toast bliss!
