This Baked Chocolate Coconut French Toast combining toasted coconut, almonds and chocolate is the perfect make-ahead breakfast!
Can we all agree that we’re ready for a little sweetness in our lives? Yes? Great! While most Halloween recipes revolve around desserts and party foods for evening festivities, I’ve come up with something so tasty that you can enjoy first thing in the morning. By the way, no judgment if you start your day with some fun size candy bars on Halloween because I may have done that far too often after “stocking up” on candies for Halloween trick-or-treaters.
This Baked Chocolate Coconut French Toast casserole came to me in a flash of pure genius. Okay, maybe it was more like pure hunger, but either way, I imagined incorporating my favorite Halloween candies in the form of a breakfast and here’s what I came up with: a great Halloween morning surprise for adults and kids alike!
It’s rich, indulgent and most importantly, easy to make (and serve). I’ve made a lot of baked French toast, but in this version, I was inspired by my favorite chocolate coated coconut and almond candies. And guess what? It turned out pretty darn amazing.
This french toast recipe starts with King’s Hawaiian Original Dinner Rolls, which give the french toast a delicious, soft and fluffy texture. I often use these rolls for dinner, but they also work really well in sweet dishes.
King’s Hawaiian offers a variety of products that make for an exciting mealtime and is great for even the most creative of treats! The unique flavor of King’s Hawaiian bread makes it the perfect ingredient for a variety of savory and sweet recipes.
This baked French toast recipe is truly decadent and can easily be served for dessert!
