Overnight Gluten Free Baked French Toast

I had a Family Day brunch at my home yesterday.Three of us are gluten free so I needed to make an gluten free version of my usual Oven Baked French Toast.I used Suzies Gluten Free Cinnamon Raisin Bread that we purchased a few weeks ago on our road trip. The bread is denser than a regular bread and doesn’t absorb liquid as easily as its gluten counterpart but it turned out well. The non gluten eaters thought it was really good .I made a simple raspberry sauce to accompany it as well Canadian Maple syrup of course.
