Cup of Yum
In the morning...
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Generously butter an 8 x 11 baking dish. Mix together brown sugar with remaining teaspoon of spice blend.
- Remove plastic wrap from the soaked bread and brush tops lightly with remaining 2 Tablespoons of melted butter. Sprinkle French toast tops all over with cinnamon sugar mixture.
- Starting with the smaller pieces, arrange the slices of bread in the buttered baking dish, propping them up on top of each other until the pan is full. Place on the middle shelf of the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes until the tops are crispy.
- Serve at once with Molasses-Cinnamon Syrup or pure maple syrup, and whipped cream.
Notes
- Variation: Apple Cinnamon French Toast. Prepare recipe as usual, replacing the pumpkin puree with equal amounts of apple sauce or apple butter.
