Baked Banana Berry French Toast

Healthy breakfast is the best, but it still needs to taste good. The best part about this recipe is it took10 minutes to assemble before bed, then bake it in the morning while you're getting ready!


2 eggs + 3 egg whites beaten (or egg beaters)
1 cup soy milk
1 tbs Vanilla extract
1 dash Almond extract if you have it
1/4 tsp baking powder
1 tbs cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
Bread (I used Arnold's Health Nut bread)
Bananas, blueberries, or other berries
light brown sugar
butter for baking dish

Combine first 7 ingredients. Lightly butter a baking dish. Soak the bread slices in the egg mixture.  Arrange a layer of drenched bread, a layer of fruit sprinkled with brown sugar, another layer of bread, then pour remainder of egg mixture on top of entire dish.  Cover with foil and refrigerate overnight.

In the morning, preheat oven to 350.  Sprinkle top a little brown sugar and bake covered for 20 minutes then uncovered for 25ish minutes (until top is golden brown and a little puffed).  Allow to cool.  Serving ideas- more fruit,  chopped nuts, honey, maple syrup

Beth and Annie were my taste testers.  I served it with venison sausage balls (equal parts sausage/ bisquick/ cheddar) and they seriously raved :) venison sausage courtesy of my Dad... SO good, organic, less fat. Boom.
