"This rich-tasting breakfast combines the flavour of banana bread with the texture of French toast - all the while concealing a bit of puréed vegetables in the orange purée!!"

In the prepared baking dish, whisk together all the ingredients except the bread. Add bread and toss.
Let sit for several minutes or until bread is soft and has absorbed most of the liquid.
It also can be covered with foil and refrigerated overnight.
Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Uncover, sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar blend, then bake for another 15-20 minutes or until the top is firm at the center.
Serve warm drizzled with additional maple syrup.

I am a 56 year old Gramma that, for the first time in my life, has purchase myself a computer, and I didn't know what i was missing!! I have a husband tha I adore, and 4 grandchildren that of course surpass all others - lol - I am disabled, and am an at home person, so I have a lot of time on my hands, to play with my recipes, and I am enjoying every bit of it - My husband will eat anything that I cook, so I have carte blanche as far as that goes, so I have a great time trying out new recipes. Paula Deen has published some of my favorite cookbooks, her recipes are easy and quick to do. Her sweets are fantastics, especially her pound cakes, Yummm I guess the dish that I am famous for is my Christmas ham - my family all comes home for Christmas, and if i don't have my ham they are dissapointed, and my grandson wants the pistachio squares!!! so I guess that is the dishes that I'm famous for.
