I recently hosted a My Favorite Things party and similar to my first My Favorite Things party, I included a menu that highlighted my favorite eats. Since I hosted this event in the morning I served my favorite overnight french toast. It's simple and easy to make the night before and tastes amazing after a whole night of soaking the flavors in.
Plus it's topped with an out-of-this-world pecan praline mixture before it's baked. Heaven!
I even have a secret ingredient... my latest obsession, Coffee-mate Natural Bliss low-fat french vanilla creamer. It tastes absolutely amazing in this recipe and I only found out about it when I ran out of milk and only had a 1/2 cup left. With guests coming the next day I couldn't bail on the dish. So I subbed the creamer and it was the best decision I made!
Don't believe me? Then you'll have to try this dish and find out. And make sure to enjoy it with a cup of coffee and some Coffee-Mate Natural Bliss creamer!
Overnight French Toast with Pecan Praline Topping
- 1 loaf day-old bread, cut into 1" slices (I prefer a french loaf or brioche)
- 3 eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup all-natural Coffee-mate Natural Bliss low-fat vanilla creamer
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 cup pecans, chopped
- 1/4 cup light corn syrup
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
1. Layer bread slices in an oven-safe dish.
2. Mix the first six ingredients together whisk to combine.
3. Pour over bread.
4. Cover dish with foil and put in the fridge overnight. Don't even think about it until about 30 minutes before your guests arrive.
5. Take the french toast casserole dish out of the fridge and preheat oven to 375 degrees. Mix pecan praline topping ingredients together then uncover the french toast casserole and spread topping mix over the french toast casserole.
6. Bake in the oven for 25 minutes or until golden and bubbly on top. Let cool 5 minutes before serving and serve with some sliced strawberries and syrup (but it's sweet enough to eat without)
Enjoy!

This was so good! I could have eaten half the pan. Thanks for sharing. I got some Coffee-Mate Natural Bliss in Sweet Cream and it is a perfect addition to my morning coffee.
Oh goodness. That looks delish! After BlogHer last year, I don't use any creamer other than Natural Bliss! :D But I did NOT know they now have a low-fat version! Definitely getting that next time... :)
Yum. This looks really good. Thanks for sharing.
This looks so delicious! I will have to try it for sure!
Times like these I am extra happy to be your friend. You are good to my stomach. This was so delicious!
I love Natural Bliss in my tea (iced and hot) but this looks like how I will be trying it next!! YUM!
YUM!!! Totally bookmarked and ready to go for the near future!
I'm curious - how many people does this dish serve?
It serves 6 perfectly.
OMG! This looks stinkin' delicious! I am a sucker for breakfast...even more so, french toast! Thank you for this recipe! I'm going to pin it ;)
Just prepped this to bake and take to a work meeting tomorrow. I just hope there will be a piece left fore to try before its all gone. I used the Natural Bliss creamer in vanilla instead of milk when making a frappe and it was the bomb!
I Love Natural Bliss - I'm copying this recipe out.
