Hawaiian French Toast Casserole
Our Hawaiian French Toast Casserole has a tropical twist, with coconut and pineapple; the only thing it’s missing is a beach view!
I’m a little obsessed with breakfast foods, and highly recommend you try our Protein Waffles, Healthy Granola, Crepes, and Breakfast Skillet.
Hawaiian French Toast Casserole gives me all the tropical vibes.
I’m pretty confidant you’re going to love the mash-up I created here, as much as I do! We start with a Hawaiian rolls bread base (they give some of the softness and sweetness I love from Brioche French Toast), pineapple and coconut mixed in the batter, and add a macadamia nut crumble on top. YUM! I love how unique and special it feels AND you can make it the night before so it’s ready to pop in the oven for breakfast. WINNING!
And I should probably drop our Traditional French Toast Casserole recipe link for you, in case you’re serving a crowd and want two flavor options!
How to make Hawaiian French Toast:
Make Batter: Mix eggs, whole milk, sugar, vanilla, coconut extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, pineapple, and coconut in a bowl. Add cut up Hawaiian rolls and stir well to coat.
Add Topping: Transfer mixture to an 8 or 9inch greased baking dish. Combine flour, brown sugar and cinnamon in a bowl. Cut in butter with a fork, until crumbly. Stir in nuts. Sprinkle topping over casserole. Bake and Serve: Bake for 40-45 minutes until golden and set. Serve this pineapple french toast casserole warm, with our without syrup.
Make Ahead and Freezing Instructions:
To Make Ahead: Make the topping the day before and keep covered separately in the refrigerator overnight. Add just before baking.
To Freeze: Baked Hawaiian French Toast Casserole can be frozen after baking. Cover well with plastic wrap and tinfoil and store in the freezer for up to 2 months. Thaw completely in the fridge before rewarming.
