So Good VanillaFor this Cinnamon Baked Breakfast Slice Recipe, slices of bread are layered and baked in a date-sweetened vanilla-cinnamon custard, and can be served warm with yogurt and fresh berries, or taken to-go without. This easy-to-make recipe can be prepped in the evening, then baked in the morning for a quick, family-friendly breakfast, and leftovers are great for snacks or dessert. And wouldn’t that So Good Vanilla Soy beverage go great in a smoothie?! Just sayin’!… 😉

  12. To bake, remove pan from the fridge and set aside to come to room temperature. Heat oven to

  14. starts to pull away from the edges. Allow to rest in the pan for 10 minutes.
  15. Run a knife along the inside edge of the pan, then cut into the 4 sections. Using a spatula, remove
  16. each section to a cutting board. Cut each section into 4 even slices and serve 2 per person. Serve
