Vanilla French Toast

Submitted by januarybride

"This is my FAVORITE french toast recipe. Cooks up light and fluffy and so flavorful every time. Recipe found on website of Stonyfield Farms (maker of yogurt and milk). I have made this recipe with all kinds of bread and it's fabulous. . .doesn't need to be cinnamon raisin bread. I actually just made it with Hawaiian Sweet Bread this morning and it was fabulous. Also feel free to use banana or strawberry yogurt instead of vanilla. Have fun with this recipe; you won't be disappointed!"

The only difference between my regular french toast and this recipe is the yogurt. I found that the bread cooked out a bit wetter and the yogurt caused some darker spots on the bread. It was ok but I didn't care too much for yogurt tang with the bread a spices. Made for ZWT 8 Family Picks

So good! I used blueberry bread instead, and I also made a blueberry syrup to go with it, made from heated frozen blueberries and pure maple syrup. Very delicious! Next time I'll try the cinnamon raisin bread, thanks for posting! Made for ZWT8.

A great alternative to the normal way I make french toast which is just with eggs, milk and some cinnamon. I especially like the cinnamon raisin bread idea. I did use L/F plain yogurt and so upped the amount of vanilla by another 1/2 t. Yum, Yum!!! Made for AU Recipeswap~

I loved this, the bread choice & yoghurt combine to make a nice sweet bread without having to add extra sugar or use any spreads. Made a lovely brekky, thankyou!
