In our breakfast routine, I rarely make anything that takes longer than 20 minutes. Our week day regiment is oatmeal (Megan's oatmeal to be exact from her book Whole Grain Mornings) with a few meals of eggs tucked in for just a bit of variety. On weekends, I whip up waffles and pancakes which still don't take any time at all.
On occasion, however, I want something that I can whip up the night before, forget about it, and have a hot breakfast I don't need to think about in the morning. If I'm feeling really ambitious, I make cinnamon rolls but this raspberry french toast is up there as a new favorite. I keep it simple and use whatever bread I have on hand. It may be because I eat wheat bread for every occasion that I find french toast with whole wheat delightful (especially if it's a cinnamon swirl bread- so good!)
I love this 9 x 6 pan from Crate and Barrel. I find it's good for so many two person meals!
I'm all about tasty breakfasts that are quick to make, but sometimes (on the weekends) it's fun to make more elaborate dishes as a treat! I will have to give this one a try 🙂 Thanks for sharing this delicious looking recipe.
Looks delicious! I love that it is low sugar - it seems like baked french toast recipes are usually filled with sugar. This is going to be on my must try list, since we love quick (or already put together) breakfasts as well.
Oh my lordy, this just looks like everything you want from life and breakfast in bed rolled into one tray of goodness!

A wonderful recipe. I love raspberries!
Well HELLO!! I think i just found my breakfast for the weekend!!
I'm a big fan of breakfasts that can be made the night before, especially when we have company over or when we want a change of routine, like you said. I like the addition of raspberries in this baked french toast.
This is such a beauty. Think I'd eat the whole pan myself!
This looks wonderful. I will give it a try this weekend.
ps - Is there a way to enter the contest without signing up for Instagram?
these look wonderful, also i like the idea of baking it.
Love that this is a breakfast you can make ahead of time - definitely picturing this on weekend brunches!
Just by looking at the picture, I am not sure if I could still share it to the second person. I would probably eat it all. HA!
I am definitely making this next Sunday ! I only wish I had seen it earlier, one week seems to long to wait.
I just made this for breakfast this morning, and it was just as good as I thought it would be! I made it exactly as written in the recipe and it was perfect. I can see trying it with different fruits also, and maybe adding some spices - cinnamon or cardamom, depending on the fruit. Thanks for sharing!
My husband has been dropping hints that he wants french toast for the past few weeks! I can't wait to try this! I have a ton of raspberries coming in in my garden! Perfect!
Wow, it looks absolutely delicious! Stunning photography and styling! This French toast is fantastic. I really have to try this! I’ll bet the flavor is awesome — thanks so much for this.
I made this this morning and it is my new favorite baked french toast recipe. I had mine with a sliced kiwi on the side-- yum. I love adding apple syrup to the egg/milk mixture. Since it is winter I thawed and used frozen berries and they worked great. Delicious. Love your recipes. Thank you.
