This Cinnamon Baked Breakfast Slice Recipe is my next must-try recipe. I happen to LOVE cinnamon breads and the fact that I can prep this the night before and bake – makes it a fantastic recipe to add to my repertoire!
For 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’!… 😉

Recipe by Chef Voula Halliday
Ingredients
- 12 slices whole wheat or whole grain bread
- 8 dried dates
- 1 cup (250 mL) So Good Vanilla soy beverage
- 11?2 tsp (7 mL) ground cinnamon
- 3 large eggs
- Vanilla or plain yogurt (optional)
- Fresh berries (optional)
Instructions
- Lightly oil or spray an 8×8-inch (20×20-cm) square baking pan and set aside. Cut crusts off of bread
- and set bread slices aside.
- Remove pits from dates and discard. Coarsely chop dates then place into the bowl of a food
- processor or blender with So Good Vanilla and cinnamon. Pulse ingredients until mixture is smooth.
- Add eggs into mixture and pulse until well combined. Set aside.
- Place 4 pieces of bread, making a square, to cover the bottom of the pan. If necessary, squish the
- bread a bit to fit the slices in. Pour about 1?3 of the So Good mixture onto the bread base, trying to
- evenly cover each slice. Repeat this process with the bread and the So Good mixture twice more, for
- a total of 3 layers. Use a spatula or the back of a spoon to evenly spread mixture over the top layer.
- Cover and refrigerate overnight.

- To bake, remove pan from the fridge and set aside to come to room temperature. Heat oven to
- °F (180°C). Bake, uncovered, in preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, until golden and the bread
- starts to pull away from the edges. Allow to rest in the pan for 10 minutes.
- Run a knife along the inside edge of the pan, then cut into the 4 sections. Using a spatula, remove
- each section to a cutting board. Cut each section into 4 even slices and serve 2 per person. Serve
- warm, at room temperature or chilled. If desired, sprinkle with additional cinnamon, and top with
- yogurt and fresh berries.
- Tip: Slices can be easily reheated – cover in foil, then place on a baking sheet and bake in preheated
- °C (180°F) oven for 7 to 10 minutes.
