This is really good & comes together quickly. I halved the recipe. Baking them in the oven is a real time saver over frying them on the stove.

For all coconut lovers out there, yum!! I also serve this with Coconut Syrup from Hawaii and it's out of this world. For the reviewer who doesn't like coconut - Why would you even review this recipe if you don't like coconut?

This was a very nice change to the regular french toast that I make often... problem I came across is that one slice is so filling I didn't have enough people to eat the rest. I only made 6 slices. Will be changing this recipe to adding some vanilla or coconut extract to highten flavor.
