I enjoy a warm and tasty breakfast, especially on the weekend. Something to energize my family and I for the mornings activities. My entire family loves cinnamon and we love French toast, so this is always a hit. This version of French toast is different and easy. It is so delicious and tasty. This is something I used to fix all of the time when the children were young but haven't for awhile. So I am wrangling it out of cob webs for the holidays to surprise my family. If you like cinnamon and are a fan of French toast, this is a dish you are sure to enjoy. Add some fruit or juice and this is a meal that is sure to bring a smile to their faces.

Ingredients:

Six slices of cinnamon raisin bread, each cut in half

1/4 cup palm or maple sugar

1 teaspoon pure vanilla

1. Preheat oven to 350 F., spray 8x8 inch baking dish completely.

2. Place cinnamon raisin bread in pan, overlapping them a little.

3. Add quartered sausage pieces, putting some between pieces of bread.

4. Mix together egg replacer, milk, sugar and vanilla. Use whisk and beat until well blended.

6. Let this stand for 5-10 minutes to soak into the bread.
