Czech midfielder Jaroslav Plasil had put Monaco in front after 66 minutes.
The 2004 Champions League finalists are ninth in Ligue 1 and winning the League Cup may represent their best chance of earning a place in European competition next season.
Toulouse showed more initiative until Plasil scored, with Monaco goalkeeper Guillaume Warmuz having to make three brilliant saves in quick succession.
AS Nancy qualified earlier on Wednesday with a 1-0 win over Ligue 1 bottom club AC Ajaccio.
Sebastien Puygrenier scored the only goal in the 25th minute, heading home a free kick from Benjamin Gavanon.
On Tuesday, Nice defeated Girondins Bordeaux 2-1 after extra-time and Le Mans ousted second division Guingamp 3-2 on penalties.
