How to make Rabanadas or Brazilian French Toast at home
The preparation of these Rabanadas won't take more than 20 minutes. It's quick and straightforward. In traditional recipes, we will find condensed milk as one of the ingredients. Still, we didn't use it, as it's not easily accessible here in Slovenia. Feel free to use half of the condensed milk and half of the milk, only milk, or only condensed milk in the recipe. The recipe instructions are below; here's a quick overview for easier preparation.
- In a deep baking dish, combine the ingredients for the coating
- Dip the bread into the liquid mixture
- Heat the oil in a pan and deep-fry the French Toast
- Place the French Toast on paper towels to get rid of any excess fat
- Coat in cinnamon sugar and serve.
These Rabanadas are great in the summertime with fresh berries or a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream. In colder months, serve them warm and coated with cinnamon sugar.
Storing
It's best to serve this Cinnamon French Toast immediately, warm, or at room temperature. In the summertime, feel free to serve any leftovers for dessert with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream.

METHOD
-
make the egg mixture
In a large baking dish combine milk, salt, cinnamon powder, and sugar. Beat with a whisk to combine.
-
soak the bread
Cut the baguette into 2 cm (1-inch) slices. Soak the bread slices in the prepared egg mixture. Set aside for 2 minutes, then turn the bread and leave to soak for another 2 minutes per side.
-
fry the french toast
Pour oil into a deep skillet and place over medium heat. Cook until the oil reaches 170 °C / 340 °F then carefully add the bread in a single layer. Deep-fry in two alternations. Deep-fry for 3 minutes, then turn the french toast and continue to fry for another 3 minutes. Transfer the French toast to a baking sheet lined with paper towels to get rid of any excess oil. Repeat the process with the rest of the oil.
-
coat in sugar and serve
Make the sugar coating. In a bowl combine sugar and cinnamon powder. Coat the warm French toast in cinnamon sugar and serve as soon as possible.
