Happy Mother's Day to all the beautiful Mother's of the World! This is such a delicious recipe, you should make it and share it with your mother. Just look at how healthy and shinny those baked blueberries look.
When I mean that this is a healthy alternative- I am making a comparison to the Paula Dean's Baked Praline French Toast recipe that I used to turn to for brunch- now I don't want all that butter, sugar and more sugar and cream. This recipe was going to be perfect for our upcoming healthy tea party/breakfast party. It contains whole wheat baguette, light milk, almonds and blueberries filled with antioxidants.
Blueberry Almond Baked French Toast
(adapted from http://www.mrbreakfast.com/superdisplay.asp?recipeid=2710)
1 whole-wheat baguette (about 18 inches long) - cut into 1-inch cubes
12 large egg
2 cups lowfat milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/3 cup pure maple syrup
2 cups fresh blueberries
1/3 cup sliced almonds
2 Tablespoons dark brown sugar
Prepare a 9x13 baking pan by spraying the inside with cooking spray.
Place the bread in a single layer in the baking pan. It fits perfectly in the dish.
In a large bowl, whisk the eggs with the milk, vanilla, cinnamon and maple syrup. Pour this mixture over the bread in the pan. Scatter the blueberries evenly over the top and sprinkle with the almonds and brown sugar. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight (at least 4 hours).
When ready to prepare, bake for 40 to 50 minutes in an oven preheated to 350 degrees.
Just soaking up the bread and milk goodness- the before baking photo.
Serves 8.
