“Healthified” Raspberry French Toast Bake

Try using Splenda instead of sugar. You will cut calories and make this a more diabetic friendly meal.

I made this for dinner. Very pretty recipe. Made because my husband likes bread. Sauce as alittle tart. More sugar may be needed in sauce. My husband gave it a 2, but I gave it a 3 because raspberries are my favorite.

Easy and delicious!

I made this as a V-Day dinner - it was so easy and delicious. Little fuss and lots of time to spend with my special someone (and *not* in the kitchen preparing dinner!)

Looks really good. Raspberry however is not one of my favorites. May substitute with strawberry or blueberry. Mmmmm!
