Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 slices Whole wheat bread
- 6 pieces Egg whites
- 1 cup Low-fat milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 1 cup Fresh berries (e.g., blueberries or sliced strawberries)
- Cooking spray
- 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar (optional for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Lightly coat a 9x9-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
Cut the whole wheat bread slices into cubes, about 1-inch in size.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the egg whites, low-fat milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and maple syrup until fully combined.
Add the bread cubes into the egg mixture, stirring gently until the bread is evenly coated and all the liquid is absorbed.
Transfer the bread mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
Scatter the fresh berries evenly over the top of the bread mixture.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the casserole is puffed and golden brown on top.
Remove from oven and allow it to cool slightly before serving.
Optionally, sprinkle with powdered sugar before serving for extra sweetness.
