Time to spice up your brunch with fruity french toast skewers!
This Friday couldn’t get any better. My windows are open for the first time this year! It’s currently 60-degrees outside, I’m going to my first football game of the season tonight, and there’s a chance I’ll have to bring my sweater! I know I’m getting ahead of myself because the 90-degree weather is around the corner, but it’ll permanently be fall before I know it!
During the fall, I see so many morning tailgates along the streets of Charlotte before the football games. Well, today, I’m sharing a fun brunch idea for you to bring to your next tailgate. These are super fun for office parties, or to make with your kiddos on Saturday morning!
French toast skewers are so easy to make, inexpensive, super customizable, and a gorgeous treat to serve.
I love how healthy and light these fruity french toast skewers are! They have protein, fiber, a good source of carbs, and antioxidants from the berries!
You will need bread, eggs, cinnamon, cookies spray, fruit, and skewers! 
I chose gluten-free cinnamon raisin and gluten-free white bread. You can use any type of bread you want! I’ve actually seen people use banana bread, and it looks fantastic. I’m going to add that one to my list! 
Scramble the eggs and cinnamon together!
Cut each slice of bread into fourths. 
Dip the french toast squares into the egg mixture. I let them soak for about 20-30 seconds. 
Spray the pan with cooking spray and cook each french toast square for about 30 seconds on each side at a medium-high temp. I used two giant pans to speed up the process.
I chose kiwi, strawberries, blackberries, and peaches for my fruits. You can customize your fruit to match team colors, the holiday, or use fruits that you enjoy 😊
Add the slices of french toast to the skewers with fruit in between the slices! 
How fun are these?
I made these years ago with the kids I nannied for and they had a blast putting them together. It made them excited about eating breakfast, which was great considering they were the pickiest eaters! 
Fruity French Toast Skewers
Ingredients
- 14 Slices Bread (your choice of bread)
- 7 Large Eggs (or 12 egg whites to lighten recipe)
- 1 Tbsp Cinnamon
- 1 Cup Blackberries
- 1 Cup Peaches Sliced
- 1 Cup Strawberries Sliced
- 1 Cup Kiwi (leave skin on or off)
Instructions
- Slice each slice of bread in fourths
- Wisk the eggs and cinnamon together.
- Slice peaches, strawberries, and kiwi. **you can leave the skin on or off the kiwi** (I personaly love the skin, but if i were taking these to a party, I'd remove the skin)
- Heat a greased pan to medium-high heat.
- Dip the slices of bread into the egg mixture. Add the squres to the pan and cook each side for about 30 seconds.
- Add fruit and french toast squares to the skewers. The recipe makes 14 skewers!
This recipe makes fourteen skewers.
If you don’t want to serve the french toast on skewers, you can add the french toast squares to a large serving bowl. A giant bowl of french toast square is a cute idea as well. 
And of course, they’re always best with syrup!
Questions for you!
- Are you having fall-like weather where you live today?
- French toast or waffles?
- Kiwi with skin on or off?
I thought the french toast pieces were tofu at first glance! But the skewers are such a great idea. I’ve never thought of putting toast on skewers but it’s a great way to get the carbs in too! 🙂

Hahaha you could totally do tofu 😉
OMG where did you get that syrup pourer?
25 cents at a thrift store!!
Do you think baking french toast with the oven will yield different results from regularly just frying them?
I’m sure they’ll be just as good!
These are so pretty!
Thanks, Wesley!
This looks amazing!! I don’t think you get enough credit with you photography skills! What camera do you use?

Awww thanks, Shannan! I use a Canon Mark IV (when i’m not lazy and actually use it!)
I’ve never thought about something like this! What a fantastic and yummy idea! 😁
Thanks, Emily!
This is GENIUS! I’m seriously drooling over these pictures. I love all the bright fruits!
I WISH we were having fall weather. We had a 70 degree day earlier this week and it was glorious. But aside from that, it’s been 88+ every day. Ugh. I am SO ready for fall!
If it’s a breakfast carb, I’ll eat it :).
I honestly only realized within the past few months that people eat kiwi with skin on! I’m definitely a scoop it out girl. No fuzzies for me!
Thanks, Susie!!
We have 90+ days but these mornings have been unusual! I’ll take it! 😊 I know it won’t last long before that August/September heat kicks in.
Hahahahaha! I think the fuzzies throw people off. I think the skin is super sour like candy so I can get past the “fuzzies.” Literally laughing out loud with that word.
We are going to make these this weekend!
I hope you enjoy!
Hey Taralynn! I’ve been following your blog for a long time and I love your story. I’m just starting my fitness journey and was wondering if it was difficult for you in the beginning just to walk? Because that’s where I’m at it now and it’s pretty embarrassing for me.
Hi, Viv!
Walking is one of my favorite things to do for staying active. You should be proud of yourself, never embarrassed! Walking is a great way to escape from the day. I highly recommend making several playlists or downloading a podcast and getting lost in it during your walks. The more you walk, the more confident you’ll feel in your routine! When I see people out walking, I get inspired to do the same. So just think about all the people you’re inspiring while out there walking!
You got this! xo
How many carbs?
It all depends on which bread and fruits you use.
I love the idea of serving a bowl of french toast squares at brunch.
Absolutely no skin on the kiwi!
Much easier than adding them to a skewer! 🙂
A great treat for the weekend
Indeed 😊
These would be fun for my baby shower!
Oh yes!!
I absolutely love this idea. I am going to make these for brunch over the long weekend! 🙂
Thanks, Kelsey!
I love the idea of these!
Thank you!
