Banana Blueberry French Toast Bake
Sometimes I feel like we get into a boring old breakfast routine. I want something easy so I don't have to cook, so we end up eating the same-old. I noticed we were starting to fall into one of these boring routines, so I went recipe hunting on Pinterest. I found a wonderful looking baked french toast recipe, that was fast, easy, and make-ahead. So I decided to tweak it a bit to fit our family's tastes, and I turned the original recipe into a new Banana Blueberry French Toast Bake.
This Banana Blueberry French Toast Bake turned out great! It was so easy. I just popped it in the oven before my morning routine, and by the time it was time to get the kids up for the day, it was done!
Banana Blueberry French Toast Bake Recipe
Blueberry Banana French Toast Bake
Ingredients
- 1 (12 ounce) package Hawaiian Sweet Rolls torn into bite sized pieces
- 1½ cups blueberries
- 2 large bananas sliced
- 4 large eggs
- ⅔ cup milk
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ t nutmeg
For the Crumb Topping
- ¼ cup All-purpose flour
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 2½ tablespoons butter cold, thinly sliced
Instructions
- In a 9"x13" casserole dish, layer a third of the bread pieces, a third of the bananas, and a third of the blueberries. Repeat layers until all ingredients are used. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, beat eggs and milk until thoroughly combined. Add maple syrup, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Continue stirring until everything is blended.
- Pour egg mixture over bread layers. Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight.
- Before baking, cut together flour, brown sugar, and butter with a pastry blender or fork until clumps are about pea-sized for the crumb topping.
- Sprinkle topping over refrigerated bread mixture. Bake in a 350°F oven for about 45 minutes, until firm and golden brown.
Notes
- Storage: Store any leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 5-7 days. Reheat individual portions on a microwave safe plate.
- Freezer Directions: It can be frozen before or after baking. Place in a tightly covered freezer-safe dish, and freeze for up to 3-6 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator. If unbaked, follow recipe instructions for baking. If pre-baked before freezing, bake in a 350-degree F oven for 20 minutes, until heated through.
