Easy Blueberry French Toast for a Crowd
For 30 years, I have been vegetarian and mostly vegan. I've learned to create tasty vegan recipes to appeal to my family of 7.

Easy and Healthy
You don't want to be cooking over a hot grill preparing a fat-saturated, low-nutrition breakfast for your overnight guests or family. What's the alternative? Cereal? How about baked blueberry French toast? It's low in fat, filling, quick, and full of healthy goodness.
If your guests are seeking more morning protein, compliment your meal by placing a bowl of nuts on the breakfast table and offering a glass of soy milk. This cholesterol-free meal is sure to put smiles on everyone's face.
Blueberries are Antioxidant Rich
Blueberries are full of antioxidants. Antioxidants protect against free radicals and DNA damage. Among other things, antioxidants can help protect against skin aging, Alzheimer's, reduce inflammation, maintain sexual function, prevent hardening of the arteries, and reduce many other health risks. Generally, the deeper-colored fruit offers greater antioxidant protection. Berries have the greatest antioxidant powers, except for certain spices.

It seems to work very well.

I adore the idea of adding bananas to the non-dairy milk. I bet the starch is a great replacement for the binding power of the egg in a traditional recipe.
