Enjoy the rich blueberry flavor along with cream cheese and a touch of maple syrup in this recipe. If you love blueberries this is the recipe for you! There are blueberries both in the French toast and in the sauce.
This blueberry French toast recipe is easy to make ahead the night before and ready to bake in the morning. If this recipe makes too much just cut the ingredients in half and use a 9″ x 9″ glass baking dish instead. Serve any leftover blueberry sauce over waffles, pancakes, or ice cream.
When I made this the comments I received from my mom and husband were that they were surprised it wasn’t as sweet as they thought it would be. My son however thought it should be sweeter so he poured additional maple syrup on top. Either way it is very good!
