BAKED BLUEBERRY COCONUT FRENCH TOAST

I know some people like to disagree, but breakfast really is the most important meal of the day. Our bodies have gone for an extended period of time without eating (I usually have a 12 hour fast). What’s most important, is to make sure that breakfast is not full of sugar!! My family loves french toast as much as anyone, and overnight french toasts are really fun to make and eat. Especially when you’re entertaining or bringing a dish to share with a large group. This recipe is a simple to put together, yummolicious, and happens to be low in sugar.  The only sweetener used for the entire meal, was the blueberries and a touch of honey. It was perfect!

So here are the basics: get a large loaf of your favorite bread (about 1.5 lbs) and cut into 1 inch chunks. I bought something yummy from my local bakery. I whisked together coconut milk, cinnamon, and some eggs. Just a quick note about the coconut milk: I did not use the canned full fat coconut milk, but the milk carton milk you find in the refrigerated section of the grocery store. The canned stuff is too thick for this recipe. I gently tossed the bread cubes with the coconut milk mixture and poured into a greased 9×13 inch pan. I then sprinkled some shredded coconut on the top and placed in the fridge to sit overnight. The next morning, I added a cup of blueberries and placed in the oven
