Healthy French Toast Casserole with Berries

This easy and Healthy French Toast Bake is a family favorite. Soft bread soaked in a sweet cinnamon, creamy mixture with plenty of fresh berries feels like dessert for breakfast, but actually has much healthier and satiating ingredients.

Ingredients

For the casserole
  • 1 loaf bread Arnold-Keto
  • 1 ¼ cup fresh strawberries diced
  • ½ cup blueberries
  • 1 egg
  • ½ cup egg whites
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup vanilla unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 tsp liquid stevia
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup pure maple syrup
  • 1 coop vanilla protein powder iHeartMacros
For the frosting
  • 150 grams Two Good vanilla Greek yogurt (1 single serve cup)
  • ¼ cup powdered sugar
  • ½ cup vanilla unsweetened almond milk
  • ½ tsp almond extract

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Generously coat a 9x13 baking dish with cooking spray.
  2. Use a serrated edge knife to cut each piece of bread into 9 squares (3 rows & 3 columns).
  3. Then, in a large mixing bowl whisk together: egg, egg whites, cinnamon, almond milk, stevia, vanilla extract, maple syrup and protein powder. Whisk until the protein powder is completely dissolved.
  4. Add the cubed bread pieces into the mixing bowl with the wet ingredients and toss around until each piece of bread is well coated. Mix in diced strawberries and blueberries.
  5. Dump bread and fruit mixture into your greased baking tray doing your best to evenly distribute the fruit pieces.
  6. Bake for 30 minutes or until fruit has wilted and bread is toasted.
  7. While the french toast casserole is baking, use a hand mixer to beat together frosting ingredients.
  8. Then, drizzle it over the baked casserole and let it soak into the bread. I recommend topping with warm berries or cool whip! Enjoy!

Notes

  • Protein powder has a tendency to stick when baking, make sure you’re dousing the pan with spray oil!
  • This casserole is better when there is fruit in every bite. Dice the strawberries finely and don’t be afraid to smash some fruit when stirring with the bread mixture. 
  • The "frosting" will be very runny. You want this so it seeps into the casserole after it's baked.
