Notes
- Cooking Tips:
- This casserole cooks best for 5 hours on low. If you like your French toast soft and fluffy, cook for 4.5 ish hours. If you prefer it a bit more dense and with some crunch on the outsides, cook for 5.5-6 hours.
- So far this specific recipe hasn't worked well overnight (cook time 7-8 hours). If you're hellbent on trying it, you'd need to double the batch as is and increase the milk in the recipe.
- For many crock pot French toast casseroles, you need to leave your bread out and then soak it in the mixture. I find that gluten-free bread is already a little dry so there’s no need to “make it stale”. And because this protein French toast cooks for so long, you don’t need to soak the bread in the mixture.
- Make sure not to use frozen bread, thaw it first.
- Gluten-free flours vary from bread to bread, using a different kind may alter the texture of the casserole a bit.
- Line your slow cooker with parchment paper. Trust me. Otherwise, a lot of the bread sticks to the bottom and not only makes a mess but you lose out on deliciousness!
- This recipe was made in a 7 quart slow cooker. Cooking times may vary for bigger or smaller.
- Try to use small frozen blueberries so they disperse best.
- You cannot substitute brown sugar for maple syrup. The syrup adds more liquid to the French toast casserole recipe.
- When it’s ready to eat, you can top the slow cooker French toast casserole with drizzled maple syrup, powdered sugar, chocolate chips or fresh fruit!
