Make breakfast special with this Baked Cinnamon French Toast.

There are things I do and products I buy simply because that is what I remember my mom doing or buying as I was growing up. My mom didn’t spend too much time in the kitchen because my dad did most of the cooking, but when it came to baking, I could often find her knee deep in flour and butter, electric mixer in hand. To this day, my dad does the majority of the cooking. But my mom, she does ALL the baking.

Now that I’m a mom and responsible for feeding three little mouths of my own, I find myself making dishes that I know my kids will love, just like my dad did when I was younger. One of my kid’s favorites is my Overnight French Toast Bake. To be honest, it’s kind of my favorite too because it’s super simple to prepare the night before and pop in the oven on a lazy Saturday morning. Because in my house, Saturday mornings are made for lazy! After basketball season ends, anyway.

But sometimes y’all, I just get in a rut and find that I’m making the same recipes week after week. And quite frankly, I get bored with the same ‘ole same ‘ole. And if I’m getting bored by the meals I’m making, I’m sure the kids are getting bored, too.

Thankfully they’re forgiving and understanding. Most of the time.

In my daily need to get stuck in the time suck known as Pinterest (because obviously I have soooo much extra time to waste), I stumbled on Ree Drummond’s recipe for Cinnamon Baked French Toast. Can you believe this is the first time I’ve tried one of her recipes? I know. Tragic! But I’ve got the first one in the books and I’m sure more will follow.

Here’s a tip, y’all. Using a square cake cutter helps cut and serve the perfect piece of Baked Cinnamon French Toast every single time without having to touch it with your hands. Now the kids have no reason to argue over who got the bigger piece. This is a stainless steel cutter with contoured wooden handles specially designed to give you a comfortable grip while serving. It works perfectly on sheet cakes, coffee cakes, or any other rectangular cake. And it’s dishwasher safe on the top rack! Double win, y’all.

      As much as my kids love pancakes, waffles, and regular French Toast, I’m sad that I’ve never made Baked French Toast! That will have to be remedied soon.

      Growing up, my mom always made an overnight fresh toast recipe for Easter morning! Yours looks much more fancy though! I can’t wait to try this!

      Yummy, this sounds so wonderful! I love cinnamon and baked french toast but never tried it at home, but that would be even better! I will be making this for my family next weekend, what a great recipe 🙂

      Pyrex is really one of those “tried and true” brands that you know you can trust. I don’t know what I’d do without my 4-cup measuring cup and all my Pyrex glass baking pans (like yours in the picture!). That recipe for french toast looks to-die-for good, too!

      OOOh that French toast sounds totally decadent and something my girls would absolutely love! I love Pyrex and have used their bowls and dishes since I first started cooking. They are what my grandma and mom used> How exciting that they are celebrating 100 years! Looking forward to these special collections!

      Oh wow… this looks and sounds amazing. Breakfast is my favorite meal… and for reasons like this meal. Will be adding this to our future meal list. Sort of reminds me of a Panakuchen type dish.
