Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 slices Whole wheat bread
- 5 large Eggs
- 2 cups Unsweetened almond milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Fresh berries
- 0.5 cup Chopped nuts (optional)
- 1 for greasing Cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
Cut the whole wheat bread slices into cubes and spread evenly in the prepared baking dish.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, unsweetened almond milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt until well combined.
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread cubes, ensuring all the bread is soaked.
Gently stir in the fresh berries and chopped nuts, if using, making sure they are distributed throughout the casserole.
Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the bread to absorb the liquid. For best results, refrigerate overnight.
Remove the casserole from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for 10 minutes while your oven finishes preheating.
Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
Serve warm, optionally with a drizzle of sugar-free syrup or extra fresh berries on top.
