This French Toast Casserole recipe is always SUCH a huge hit! My kids get so excited when I make this! It's super easy, and can be assembled a day ahead of time, so you can just pop it into the oven in the morning.
French Toast Casserole
- 1 loaf whole wheat bread, cubed (or if you're fancy like me and you make your own bread, use that! Here's my favorite go-to bread recipe. I make a loaf every 2-3 days for sandwiches, etc! I save the heels in the freezer for recipes like this!)
- 10 eggs
- 2 ½ cups milk
- ½ cup pure maple syrup
- ¼ cup butter, melted
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon, or 2-3 drops Cinnamon Bark Vitality
Preheat oven to 350°. Arrange bread cubes in a 9x13 baking dish. Mix all other ingredients and pour over the bread. I like to mix it up a little with a spoon or spatula to make sure all of the bread is covered well! Pop that bad boy into the oven for 40-45 minutes.
While it's baking, make the topping...
Topping:
- ½ cup butter, melted
- ½ cup coconut sugar
- ½ cup chopped pecans
- sometimes I like to get a little crazy and add another drop of Cinnamon Bark Vitality
Pour the topping over the casserole and bake for about 10 more minutes. Once you take it out of the oven, let it rest for 5-10 minutes before digging in.
Enjoy! We love to drizzle a little extra maple syrup on top right before eating.
