Baked Banana-Orange French Toast image

France meets French Polynesia! Exotic coconut, banana and cinnamon island flavors complement the rich creamy, buttery, orange staples of the French countryside. This is an easy breakfast or brunch meal since it's all made the day before (the 12 hours passive cooking time is when it sits in the refrigerator overnight). Serve it directly from the baking dish...no syrup or butter needed!

I'm not a big fan of bananas, but I actually really enjoyed this recipe. The orange flavor really balanced out the banana flavor, and the French toast was cooked perfectly.

Not bad! The French toast was a bit too sweet for my taste, but overall it was a good recipe.
