2 cups of reduced-fat Lehigh Valley or Store Brand milk
12 ounces Dannon all natural vanilla yogurt
2/3 cup of maple syrup
1 tablespoon cinnamon
6 ounces Dannon all natural vanilla yogurt (for syrup mixture)

Spray a 9-inch by 13-inch baking pan with cooking spray and place bread cubes in pan. Whisk together eggs, milk, yogurt, syrup and cinnamon in a large bowl. Pour mixture over bread and make sure bread is completely coated. Let set for about 15 minutes to absorb liquid. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 40 to 45 minutes, or until set.

To make the yogurt syrup, whisk together yogurt and syrup until smooth and creamy. Top French toast with Dannon vanilla yogurt syrup.
