Overnight Banana-Wheat French Toast
With Lemon Syrup

Serves 8

    1 1/2     cups 1-percent milk

    1 1/2     cups egg substitute

    1 1/3     cups pure maple syrup, divided

    1/2     teaspoon ground cinnamon

    1/4     teaspoon coarse salt

    Nonstick cooking spray

    6     slices whole-wheat sandwich bread, cut into 1-inch cubes

    2     medium bananas, peeled and thinly sliced

    1     tablespoon lemon rind, grated

    2     teaspoons lemon juice

Whisk together milk, egg substitute, 1/3 cup maple syrup, cinnamon and salt in a medium bowl. Arrange half of the bread cubes so they lie flat in a 7-by-9-inch baking dish coated with nonstick cooking spray. Pour half of the milk mixture over the bread.

 Scatter banana slices evenly over soaked bread cubes. Cover bananas with remaining bread cubes and pour remaining milk mixture over bread. Cover dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.

The next morning, preheat oven to 350° F. Remove plastic wrap and bake French toast for 45 minutes, or until top is puffed and golden. Let cool 5 minutes; cut into 8 squares.

 Place remaining 1 cup maple syrup in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. When bubbling, stir in lemon rind and juice. Serve over French toast.
