Editor’s note: I am off on my honeymoon and have some amazing guest posts lined up for you guys. Today, Deborah from Confessions of A Mother Runner is sharing an awesome recipe for Crockpot French Toast – yum! Enjoy!
My friend, Courtney, asked me to help her out while she is off on her honeymoon. She is going to be sorry she missed this recipe! With so many relatives and friends dropping by this time of year, I wanted to bring you a dish that you can easily prepare for a great Brunch. I made this as healthy as possible while still keeping the yummy goodness of French Toast. The prep time is 5 minutes so you can easily pop it in your crock pot in the morning and have it ready for Brunch. You can use your favorite healthy bread. I used Raisin Challah Bread this time and it was amazing.


- 2 eggs
- 2 egg whites
- 1 ½ cups of skim milk
- 2 Tbl Honey
- 1 Tsp Vanilla
- 1 Tsp Cinnamon
- ¼ Tsp Almond Extract
- 3 Bananas (sliced)
- 9 slices of Whole Wheat or Challah Bread-cut in half diagonally (18 pieces)
- Serve with Maple Syrup
- In a large bowl whisk together eggs, egg whites, milk, honey, vanilla cinnamon & almond extract
- Spray crock pot with oil spray
- Place 6 pieces of bread in the crock pot, top with 1 banana sliced repeat 2 more times
- Use all 3 bananas between the layers ending with bread
- Pour Egg mixture overtop bread
- Cook on low for 3.5 hours
- Serve with Maple Syrup of choice and fruit
- I used Raisin Challah Bread this time and it was amazing.
- I used the Reduced Sugar Maple Syrup. It pairs well with Strawberries on the side.
This was so much tastier than I expected. My family loved it and we even had it for Dinner one night. It would also be great with Apples or Pears as a filling. I will certainly be making this when I have friends for Brunch and I hope you and your family give it a try as well.
If you enjoy this recipe, head on over every Monday for my Meatless Monday link up. Thanks Courtney for letting me Guest Blog today and I hope you are having a fabulous Honeymoon.

I love raising bread in french toast! I’d never done French Toast in the crock pot but this sounds like a great idea for brunch with guests.
