This is a very good french toast recipe. The pina colada flavor did not come through as strongly as I'd hoped though, so next time I will play with the ratio of milk to pina colada mix. But overall I was very pleased with the results. DH loved it! A fun twist on french toast.

Something else that will make this a 6 star is using coconut pancake syrup. You can make your own (recipe was on this site) or purchase from the grocery store.

What a delightful change of taste for french toast. It has a very subtle taste of the flavors of the pina colada mix. This only needs fresh fruit for a topping and not syrup. I got 20 slices of Texas Toast from this recipe. I individually froze and stacked it back in the bread sack for a quick breakfast treat. Magpie - so glad you came up with this recipe. UPDATE: I originally made this in June when it was a personal recipe. I have since made it 3 times. It freezes well and heats up great in the toaster or the microwave.

I think next time I'll replace the milk with more pina mix, the flavor didn't really come through...

Made it according to the recipe and family really enjoyed the "something different" aspect! (As for the topping - I toasted the coconut and liked the tiny bit of crunch.)

This was almost too easy and very tasty! I kept wondering why I never thought of it before.

This didn't have much taste. Will not be making again. I followed the recipe and this one just didn't work for my family. But do give it a try because your family may like it better than we did.

I cut the loaf of soft Itallian bread into thick slices the night before and let it dry out on the counter top. Only needed 5 eggs and used 1/2 cup each of milk & mix (next time will use more mix). I addeed a few drops of coconut extract and a few chunks of canned pineapple with about 2 tbsp. of pineapple juice. Put it in the blender for a a really smooth batter. Served topped with a slice of bacon and a pineapple ring - a definite keeper!
