I can never pass up an excuse for a sweet breakfast. And that is just what overnight baked french toast is. It’s basically bread pudding but you get to drizzle it with a sweet syrup and call it breakfast, yes please!

You know the point when something is baking in the oven and all the sudden you can smell the deliciousness that is in your kitchen? Well my oldest son looked at me and goes, “YUM, what is that smell?!” 🙂 He loved this breakfast. But lets get honest, it’s hard not to. You’ve got pumpkin, cream cheese filled goodness going on. Then topped with a spiced buttermilk caramel syrup, how can you not? This is the breakfast to make this fall. Kind of like “the jeans” for fall but not, cause this will not help you fit into those. But YOLO 😉 Just have a berry detox smoothie the next morning. Moderation is where it’s at! I hope you enjoy!

The caramel spiced buttermilk syrup that you drizzle on top is just the best. You can whip this up while the french toast is baking.

Here is a picture of the one I made with the pecan streusel. It was my favorite. I loved the flavor and added crunch the pecans gave it. But the oat streusel was delicious as well. Use what you like best or try half one way and half the other!
