Healthy Blueberry French Toast Casserole

I love french toast, but sometimes the effort of dipping and cooking each individual toast feels like a lot, especially on busy weekdays. That’s why this French Toast Casserole recipe has been a game-changer! I’ve made it so many times and my kids always ask for more – it’s SO good.

It’s easy to tear the bread up and put it in a casserole dish, pour the whisked egg mixture over everything, and fold in fresh or frozen blueberries. Add the optional brown sugar topping and bake! That’s it. Make it lower-carb, dairy-free, gluten-free, or even prep it the night before. Whether you’re making this for weekend brunch or busy weekday breakfasts, you’ll love how this Blueberry French Toast Bake turns out perfectly every time!

Blueberry Breakfast Casserole Ingredients

• Low-Carb Bread (opens in a new tab) – Or any type of bread! Gluten-free bread, challah, brioche, or whole wheat bread are all delicious options.
• Eggs – You’ll need 6 large eggs for this recipe!
• Plant-Based Milk – Soy milk, almond milk, oat milk, (opens in a new tab) or regular dairy milk.
• Cinnamon/Vanilla Extract – These add so much flavor to this french toast casserole recipe!
• Maple Syrup – The maple syrup adds depth of flavor and the perfect amount of sweetness.
• Blueberries – Fresh or frozen – your choice!
• Brown Sugar (optional) – While totally optional, I love the way a little bit of brown sugar sprinkled over the top before baking adds a touch of sweet and the perfect texture.
• Toppings (optional) – Powdered sugar and fresh blueberries bring this casserole to another level! You can also serve it with Greek yogurt, a side of eggs, and fresh fruit.

This healthy Blueberry French Toast Casserole could not be any easier to make! It only takes a few minutes of prep time, then just bake it and enjoy. Here’s how to make this recipe:

3. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread.
4. Fold in the fresh or frozen blueberries.
5. Add the brown sugar topping (optional) and bake for 55-60 minutes!

Making Ahead

The best way to make a french toast casserole ahead of time is to prep the bread in the casserole dish and cover. Prep the egg mixture and cover in a separate container. Store overnight in the fridge, then pour over the bread, fold in the berries, and bake in the morning!

You can also fully prep the breakfast casserole the night before, cover, and then just bake in the morning. However, this results in a bit of a soggy texture since the bread (depending on the type of bread you’re using) will soak up quite a bit of the egg mixture. It still tastes delicious, though!
