How to Make Baked Banana Orange French Toast

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, orange juice, vanilla extract, and melted butter.
  3. Add brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt; whisk until well combined.
  4. Cut bread into 1-inch cubes and place them in a large bowl.
  5. Pour the egg mixture over the bread cubes, ensuring all pieces are evenly coated. Gently toss to combine.
  6. Stir in mashed banana and shredded coconut.
  7. Pour the bread mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
  8. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 12 hours, or preferably overnight.
