STRAWBERRY FRENCH TOAST BAKE

French Toast Bakes are super easy to assemble the night before and are always a hit with my family.

Our latest version was this Overnight Strawberry Cream Cheese French Toast Bake. My kiddos are big berry monsters and always get so excited whenever we make this.

This Overnight Strawberry Cream Cheese French Toast Bake would be amazing if you have family coming over. They are seriously going to love waking up to this in the morning.

Plus, you can’t beat how easy it is to make ahead the night before too.



If you have lots of fresh juicy strawberries, this french toast bake would be perfect. You can even use frozen if that’s what you have on hand.

The sweet berries go so well with the brown sugar streusel topping and soft cream cheese filling. If you’re not a fan of cream cheese, you can certainly leave the filling out if you prefer.

Ingredients

  • 1 16-ounce loaf of French bread or sourdough bread cut into 1-inch cubes with the ends discarded. Use gluten free or day old low carb almond flour bread if necessary
  • 1/2 cup cream cheese softened (optional - leave out if preferred)
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup or honey divided (can also swap in your favorite sugar free Maple Syrup or Sukrin Syrup for low carb)
  • 1-1/2 - 2 cups sliced strawberries divided
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1-1/4 cups milk I used almond milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar or coconut sugar optional - add if you like your french toast sweeter - I left it out since we usually drizzle with maple syrup once baked
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

Streusel Topping:

  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour can substitute with gluten free 1-1 flour
  • 1/3 cup packed brown sugar or coconut sugar (for low carb use erythritol or monk fruit)
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter cold and cubed
  • Optional Toppings:
  • maple syrup
  • more fresh berries
  • whipped cream
  • powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Make the Streusel Topping:
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon together. Cut in the cubed butter with a pastry blender or two forks. Set aside in the fridge.

Simple Maple Vanilla Baked Pears

First things first: hi! I’m currently in St. Lucia sipping a big ol’ margarita on the rocks while watching the sun set over the pristine water. Wait. Wasn’t I just caught in a blizzard 4 days ago? January, why you be so crazy.

I’m really excited because today’s post is sponsored by my friends at Stemilt Growers. Remember when I visited their orchards back in July? It was my first time in Washington, though I went back in October on my book tour (hi Seattle friends!). When I visited the orchards in July, I went cherry picking, explored the epic grounds, and tasted the world’s juiciest apples and sweetest cherries. The pears weren’t quite ready to be picked yet, so they promised to send me a box when they were.



Baked pears. I know it all sounds pretty simple. And you don’t even see chocolate or frosting or caramel explosions in these photos. But let me tell ya something. These maple vanilla baked pears? They’re pretty epic. Such a big statement for a humble fruit, no? Well, they’re a prime example of how simple ingredients, good-for-you, and REAL whole foods can come together to produce a dessert that can stand up to a chocolate frosting caramel exploding something. (Which reminds me, have you made my snickers cupcakes yet?)

When Stemilt sent me pears, the first thing I did was eat them. I believe I inhaled 2 in a matter of 30 seconds. Then I got down to business and began brainstorming a new recipe to make. Actually, before the brainstorming, I hiccupped because I just ate 2 giant pears in under a minute.

Baked pears came to mind first. When I’m feeling lazy but want a little something sweet after dinner (always), I often bake an apple, drizzle with honey or melted peanut butter and top with crunchy granola. It’s simple, it’s kinda healthy, and on a cold winter night– hits the spot. In my real mind, baked pears dripping with pure maple syrup sounded just as fabulous and in my weird food blogging photographer mind, they sounded pretty.

Ingredients:

  • 4 D'Anjou pears (aka Anjou pears)
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) pure maple syrup
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • optional toppings: maple pecan granola, Greek yogurt

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). I don't line my baking sheet when I make these, but you absolutely can with parchment or a silicone baking mat.
  2. Cut pears in half, then cut a small sliver off the underside so the pears sit flat when placed upright on the baking sheet. See video above for visual. Using a large or medium cookie scoop or melon baller (or even a teaspoon), core out the seeds. Arrange pears, facing up, on the baking sheet. Sprinkle evenly with cinnamon-- feel free to add more cinnamon if you'd like.
