This Crockpot French Toast recipe is the best way to make a big batch of French toast without standing at the stove! Custard-soaked French bread spiced with cinnamon cooks in the slow cooker, and then you add your favorite toppings for serving. It’s a delicious and easy breakfast or brunch recipe.
French toast is always a great breakfast treat, but it can be a hassle. Dipping and cooking individual pieces takes time, and if you’re making a big batch, half of the French toast is cold before you finish cooking the rest.
A crockpot solves this issue and makes it so easy to make a big batch of French toast. It’s similar to a baked French toast casserole, but instead of turning on the oven, you turn on the slow cooker and leave it to cook the French toast.
