I can’t believe I’m posting this. Really, it’s possibly a bit scandalous to a few people because it’s so not “real” food. It’s so not simple or few ingredients, but it is so good, and easy, and delicious. You don’t even have to be a cook to make this recipe. Bing, bang, BOOM! Easter Brunch, or really, just plain decadence any day. Blueberry Lemon Donut French Toast Bake has left the building. It came, it got eaten. It’s gone—all within an hour.
Truly, it was that quick and easy. It’s Friday and that means donut day in our house. This week I stocked up on the donuts at the bread outlet. We rarely go there, and for very good reason. After all, what sense does it make to buy 1 box of donuts for $2.25 when we don’t have to choose only 1 kind, and can get 3 boxes for $6? Who needs 3 boxes of donuts in the house?
Entenmann’s Donuts may be a little too local for some of you but if you can find a lemon cake type donut you are good. I used 8 of those beauties. I recommend letting them sit a day or 2 if you buy them fresh. Using them just a little dried out is perfect.

How long bake?

I apologize for the inconvenience of no bake time. I’m not sure what happened to those details! Bake for approximately 45 minutes. That being said, since some ovens heat differently, check at 30 minutes to see if it is cooked through as it may bake faster. Also, at that point, if it isn’t baked through you may want to just make sure the top isn’t getting too dark. If it is, cover with foil, but vent it so it doesn’t trap the moisture in.
Oh my. I need to have some of these to chase my lemon cookies 😉
One allergy friendly, one not so…..They were good as long as I don’t read the label.
