Ingredients

Scale

Berries:

  • 6 cups of mixed berries (such as strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries)

Bread:

  • 1 lb of thick bread, sliced

Wet Ingredients:

  • 1 1/3 cup of applesauce or mashed banana
  • 2/3 cup of milk (any variety)
  • 2/3 cup of egg whites or additional milk
  • 1/4 cup of pure maple syrup, agave, or honey
  • 1 tsp of pure vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Bread: If the bread is not already slightly hard, either let it sit uncovered for a day or bake slices at 300 F for 15 minutes to dry out.
  2. Assemble Casserole: Grease a 9×13 inch pan. Cut the bread into 1-inch pieces and layer them evenly in the pan. Whisk together applesauce, milk, eggs, maple syrup, and vanilla. Pour this mixture evenly over the bread. Spread the berries over the top.
  3. Refrigerate Overnight: Cover the pan and refrigerate overnight.
  4. Bake: Preheat the oven to 350 F the next morning. Bake the casserole in the center rack for about 1 hour or until the bread is lightly golden.
  5. Serve: Enjoy the casserole hot or cold.
