Cinnamon-Raisin Apple French Toast Bake-Crock Pot Challenge #9

*This is the 9th of of 10 Crock Pot recipes I am trying in January and February as part of the Peanut Butter Fingers Blog Crock Pot Challenge*

I am not the breakfast chef in our family.  I burn pancakes and my eggs usually turn out rubbery and tasteless.  As much as I’ve learned to master all the other meals of the day, breakfast is often an epic fail. It’s very sad.

Luckily, my hubby is an expert in pancakes, waffles and eggs.  He very sweetly makes me pancakes or waffles every weekend even we he doesn’t want them at all.  He makes eggs in all styles that are better than any restaurant I’ve ever tried.  Isn’t it nice how that worked out?

Well, all this may change after I made this last Crock Pot recipe.  This is a no fail breakfast or brunch dish that even I got right on the first try.  The hubs may start asking me to switch weekends to cook breakfast… oh no…..

2 cups milk

1 tea cinnamon

1/4 tea nutmeg

1 tablespoon vanilla

2 tablespoons honey

2 tablespoons brown sugar (optional)

I’m in trouble now!  This may just be a new family favorite!
