With back to school just around the corner, I am looking for ways to streamline our routines to make those hectic mornings a little easier. I am stocking our freezer with waffles, pancakes and muffins to have quick and easy breakfasts, as well as keeping easy recipes, like this Overnight Baked Peach French Toast, at the ready at all times.
Overnight Baked Peach French Toast puts a summer twist on our favorite French toast recipe (this Baked Pumpkin French Toast). In lieu of pumpkin and spices, it has delicious, juicy peaches in every bite. Otherwise it is made with the same cinnamon bread cut into cubes, the same wonderful buttery brown sugar oat crumble topping that everyone loves and also made lighter using nonfat evaporated milk. Everything about this Overnight Baked Peach French Toast is just so good…and easy too! 
For this recipe, I used canned peaches in 100% juice. The convenience of having already peeled, sliced peaches cannot be beat, and I used the reserved peach juice for sweetness and added peach flavor. Since canned peaches are available year round, we can enjoy the taste of summer on those cold winter mornings.
This Overnight Baked Peach French Toast makes a generous amount that reheats beautifully, perfect to enjoy for breakfast throughout the week (or breakfast for dinner, because nights are busy too!)
- 2 15-ounce cans sliced peaches in juice, drained and chopped - reserve the juice (yields approximately 1 cup)
- 1 can (12 ounces) fat free evaporated milk
- 8 eggs (or lighten it up by subbing 2 egg whites per egg)
- 1 tablespoon vanilla
- 1 loaf (16 ounces) cinnamon bread, cut into 1-inch cubes
- ¼ cup rolled oats (I use quick oats)
- ¼ cup packed brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon butter (I use light butter)
- Spray a 13x9-inch baking dish with baking spray and set aside.
- Chop peaches.
- In a large bowl, whisk evaporated milk, eggs, vanilla and 1 cup reserved juice from peaches.
- Add bread cubes and peaches, and fold until well coated. Pour into prepared baking dish, cover and refrigerate overnight (at least 8 to 10 hours) until read to bake.
- Make the topping: In a small bowl, combine oats, brown sugar and butter. Cover to use just before baking.
- Preheat oven to 350F degrees. Uncover and sprinkle with prepared topping. Bake for 45 minutes, or until set. Serve warm.
