Add some decadence to breakfast with this sweet and delicious recipe for coconut baked French toast sticks. 

Coconut Baked French Toast Sticks

Now that school is back in session, I think that it’s about time I got back to regular scheduled programming here on Living Lou. After a summer full of travels, it’s about time to slow down and settle back into a routine. And by that I mean expect lots of new recipes like these coconut baked french toast sticks in your inbox or blog reader, or however you get my new recipes.

So, I woke up on Tuesday morning to find myself in my senior year of university. Which I still can’t really believe right now. Time is such an interesting thing. It’s both scary and exhilarating (but mainly scary) to know that I only have one more year left in the safe bubble of school. In some ways I feel like I’m ready to take on the real world, but then in many other ways I still feel like I’m still seventeen.

To say that my university experience has been smooth would be a lie. I hated my first year. I thought I had made the biggest mistake in choosing my school. I remember crying on my drive in to school while Adele was playing on the radio (slightly hilarious, no?). Every time I hear that song I’m brought back to that moment. I think making such a big decision on which university to attend when you’re just 17/18 is kind of insane. What kind of kid knows where they want to go? It’s easy to just go with the tide and go to the schools that all of your friends are going to, but I wanted to do something different. And ever since I made that decision to go somewhere different, I’ve questioned it.

But as the years have gone by, it’s gotten better. It makes me think of high school and how each year kept getting better. My university experience is so much different than your “typical” experience, but I’ve never really done things the way that most people do. What I do love about my school is that it’s given me opportunities to pursue things outside of my studies, I’ve been able to work at great jobs in Toronto and have been able to grow my blog by a) having a working kitchen and b) being in Toronto. So everything seems to have worked out in its own time.

I thought that this recipe for coconut baked french toast sticks would be a great way to welcome the new school year. The coconut caramelizes and becomes really sweet and delicious in the oven – similar to the way it does in my coconut topped brownies. I think these would make a pretty special weekend breakfast or brunch. But, this recipe is so simple that you could definitely surprise your kids or roommates with breakfast before school. They won’t say no to french toast.

    I love this recipe and I love that it's baked. I'm a coconut fiend so am adding this to the list of too make. Good luck on your last year of school. I remember I was chomping at the bit to get OUT in my last year and be in the real world. The learning never stops when you leave uni but that's a good thing :)

    I will try this first with sliced french bread. I hope it turns out okay. Also with pizza bread. If all goes well I will serve it for the early Sunday morning church group. I can't wait to try this recipe. Thanks.
