Cloudies Baked French Toast

Growing up french toast was my absolute go to at restaurants for breakfast. It didn’t matter where we were, fancy brunch? French toast. Mediocre diner? French toast. Breakfast at our great grandma’s house? The BEST french toast!

But now, as a wellness focused chef who helps families navigate allergies and health concerns I’ve put french toast somewhat on the back burner. Until now!!!! I’ve been doing some recipe testing with The Cloud Bread Company Cloudbread for a few years now and can’t believe it took me this long to make this recipe.

The recipe itself is- easy, one dish, prep it quickly and soak overnight before you bake it- type of meal. It’s just sweet enough and has this decadent custard like mouthfeel to it. And because you have to soak it this makes for the best kind of thing to prepare for holidays and when you are entertaining. Plus it makes your whole house smell like yummy sweet cinnamon which should be reason enough in itself!
