Overnight Coconut Cinnamon Pecan French Toast Casserole

Step 1

Cut bread into 1-inch cubes and place in a greased 9x13 inch 9x13 casserole dish.

Step 2

In a medium bowl whisk together milk, eggs, vanilla, sugar, and cinnamon. Pour over bread in the casserole dish. Cover and chill overnight.

Step 3

Next morning preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Step 4

Make crumb topping. In a small bowl combine brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, coconut, and salt; cut in chilled butter into the brown sugar mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in chopped pecans.

Step 5

Uncover casserole dish. Sprinkle crumb topping over the soaked bread mixture.

Step 6

Place in oven and bake uncovered for 40-45 minutes until golden and bread is baked through.

Step 7

Remove from oven.

Step 8

In a small mixing bowl combine powdered sugar, coconut yogurt, and coconut milk. Whisk until thoroughly combined.

Step 9

Drizzle with frosting and/or syrup. Serve immediately while warm; although it is great cold, kind of like a bread pudding.
