Three things that I adore in any recipe:

  1. EASY
  2. Mini
  3. Breakfast!!

And when you put them all together in one delicious little cinnamon bun? I’m sold.

Everything starts out with a can of crescent roll dough. If you can find the kind that’s not perforated, all the better. But if not (I never can), simply pinch together the seams to form one solid rectangle of dough.

Then sprinkle the whole thing with cinnamon and brown sugar. Unlike regular yeasted cinnamon rolls, we don’t need any butter at this step, because there is already so much butter in the dough itself.

Roll the dough and slice it up, just like you would regular cinnamon rolls.

If your seams start to break apart a little (you can see mine did), don’t worry about it. Just pinch them together as best you can. These don’t have to be perfectly pretty to be perfectly delicious!

As you can see…

Be sure to grease the pan really well before sticking these guys in there. All that brown sugar can really create a sticky situation!

Then bake, frost, and YUM!

You guys. THIS is French toast. Made with thick slices of homemade blueberry bread that soak up a cream and egg custard, topped and baked with a caramel sauce that is out of this world! If you’ve ever eaten monkey bread, you’ll find that it tastes very similar to the way the caramel sauce bakes into the bread in this recipe.

D-E-L-I-S-H.

There are no words to describe how amazing this French Toast is. Baked in caramel sauce and filled with juicy blueberries, this make-ahead breakfast is flavor to the max!

I cut very thick slices of blueberry bread from the loaf I made last week for this overnight baked French toast. I fit 6 pieces into this 10×15 baking dish. Honestly, the slices are so thick and hearty, I would say that once slice makes a decent serving. But with the way that caramel soaked bread melts in your mouth, I could have probably eaten the entire pan myself, so… you’ll have to be your own judge of serving sizes here!

Over top of the bread goes an egg-y custard made with heavy cream, eggs, cinnamon, and vanilla. The thick slices of bread soak it all up overnight like a sponge.

Now here comes the best part…

Over top of the soaked bread slices, you pour a caramel-like sauce made of butter brown, brown sugar, and a little bit of corn syrup or a corn syrup substitute. As everything bakes together, the sauce saturates the bread and bubbles up all around creating a caramel sauce that replaces the syrup you would normally eat with french toast.

I never want to make French toast any other way ever again ????. Just saying.

Just look at that bite!! Seriously. You are going to fall in love with this recipe. I can’t wait for you to try it!

And if you don’t feel like making blueberry bread– that’s ok. This recipe is still amazing with any kind of thick, hearty, crusty bread. And you can always make this sauce with blueberries to go over top!

Happy Friday! Any fun plans for the weekend?

I’m hoping to squeeze in a few mini photo sessions (did I tell you that I’ve started doing portrait photography? It’s so much fun!)

But before I can get to my weekend, I have to get through the Farm Days field trip with my daughter’s class…. ????.

Maybe even as you’re reading this, I’m likely trudging through animal mud with a baby strapped to my chest, a handful of kindergartners at my side, and sneezing my way through horse dust.

I am not an animal person. I know I just lost about half of you, but it’s the truth. I’m not. No, I don’t even like your cute puppy. I mean, I’m not going to kick it while you’re not looking or anything. But I’ll kind of pretend to sort of half pet it and then spend the rest of our conversation hoping your dog’s hair doesn’t make my eyes swell up or give me itchy hives up and down my arm.

I swear, I really am a nice person. I just don’t do the animal thing.

And I’m not really a kids-that-aren’t-mine person for that matter (ha! and I’m only barely a kids-who-are-mine kind of person!)

So basically, what I’m getting at is this. Farm Days with my daughter’s kindergarten class is my own personal version of parental hell. And I would so much rather be planted on the couch with a book and a warm loaf of this blueberry bread.

Just sayin. ????

Moving on….

This bread is so spring time to me! It’s sweet and fluffy and packed full of juicy blueberries. Remember back when I had a weird thing with the texture of blueberries and could only eat them from a can and in muffins?

Thank goodness this Berry Cheesecake Trifle came along and totally changed how I feel about fresh blueberries! Just think about all the yummy things I’d be missing out on ????.

This bread would be so good with a lemon glaze! But it’s also amazing on it’s own, smothered in butter, fresh and warm out of the oven with a glass of milk and a good book. It’s the perfect spring time, Saturday morning breakfast 🙂

I hope you spend at least part of this weekend curled up on the couch with a thick slice of Blueberry Bread. Enjoy!

When life hands you lemons…

Make a yummy icing to drizzle over these vanilla almond poppyseed muffins! Or make Lemon Blueberry Scones, Lemon Blueberry Sweet Rolls, Lemon Poppyseed Banana Bread, or Lemon Chess Bread Pudding. Or this Lemon Marshmallow Meringue Pie.

Just to suggest a few ????????.

—>You guys… that pudgy little hand ????! I couldn’t even be mad about him ruining every shot, because his little fingers make my heart explode.

A-hem. Back to the muffins.

Originally, I was going to make regular lemon poppyseed muffins. But the thought of a sweet vanilla and almond muffin filled my brain and so I settled for lemon icing instead. I don’t know what it is about spring time, but it brings out the almond extract lover in me. Constructing a muffin that involves both almond extract and lemon just felt so right.

And a muffin with a glaze? That felt right too. Mostly because I like cupcakes any time of day. And since we’re calling it a “glaze” and a “muffin,” it’s now acceptable to eat this very NON-cupcake for breakfast!

You’re so welcome.

These muffins are super soft on the inside with a little hint of crunch from the poppy seeds. The lemony glaze on top compliments the almond flavor in the muffins and creates a spring time muffin nirvana that you will adore.

And you’ll keep coming back for more.

Because… it rhymed.
