- 6 cups berries (32 oz)
- 1 lb thick bread
- 1 1/3 cup applesauce or mashed banana
- 2/3 cup milk of choice
- 2/3 cup egg whites or additional milk of choice
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup or agave or honey
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract (optional)
If bread is not already slightly hard, either let it sit uncovered for a day before using, or bake the slices at 300 F for 15 minutes so they dry out.To make the overnight breakfast casserole, grease a 9x13 inch pan. Cut the bread into approximately 1-inch pieces and layer evenly in the pan. Whisk together the applesauce, milk, eggs, maple, and vanilla (omit if using vanilla flavored milk), then pour this mixture evenly over the bread. Spread the berries over the top. Cover and refrigerate overnight. The next morning, all you have to do is preheat the oven to 350 F, put the pan in the center rack, and bake 1 hour or until bread is lightly golden. Enjoy hot or cold.View Nutrition Facts
