First, cut each slice of bread into 8 equal cubes.
Mix sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl until combined.
In a bowl, whisk eggs, milk and salt.
Melt half of the butter in a non-stick pan over medium heat (make sure the butter don't turn brown).
Now, toss half the bread cubes in the egg mixture, shake off any excess of the mixture. Transfer the cubes into the pan, sauté them for 3-4 minutes or until browned on all sides.
Remove them from the pan and quickly put them into the sugar mixture, stir to coat all the sides, then put them into a serving plate.
Repeat with the rest of the bread cubes.
Serve warm, with any dipping you fancy.

Use slightly stale bread. Fresh bread tends to soak up too much of the egg mixture, which makes the French Toast soggy and taste like a raw egg.
If you use fresh bread, make sure that it is oven-dried.
Another option is to cut the bread into cubes and leave it in a dry container overnight.
Don’t leave the bread in the egg for too long to avoid sogginess.
Use the right amount of heat. Using too much heat will give you burnt bites which are still soggy on the inside, and too little heat will make the cubes dry out.
The best bread for this recipe is one that is thick. However, if you don’t mind your bites not being cube-shaped, you can use any and all forms of bread.

ou can use cooking oil instead of butter. Coconut oil is also a good option because it adds better richness and flavour than others.
Using gluten-free bread will make these Cinnamon French Toast Bites ideal for you, even if you are looking for something gluten-free.
You can cut the bread into strips instead of cubes to get Cinnamon French Toast Sticks.
Adding almond or vanilla extract to the custard is an option to add some more flavour to these bites.
