How about some sort of sweet bread or muffin? Our favorites include Strawberry Banana Bread from WL, Orange Muffins & Clyde's Coffee Cake - made as muffins. I also found a recipe for Peach French Toast that's done as a casserole that we're going to try for Christmas. I've posted the recipes below so you don't have to do a search.
