make this easy french toast casserole over the weekend then serve it up all week for a back-to-school breakfast the whole household is sure to love!
Let’s be honest, back to school time, as great as it is, can also be insanely busy. It’s one thing if you’re just trying to get yourself to school or work. But throw in kids and pets and significant others that also need help and it can definitely leave your head spinning.
My goal is always to try to make your lives easier, and let me tell you – this make ahead mixed berry & yogurt french toast casserole is definitely going to do that.
Not only will it make your life easier, but you’ll be the star of the household because…who doesn’t want french toast on a weekday morning?! I have yet to meet anyone.
This is great because you can pull it together over the weekend and then all you have to do is re-heat and eat all week long. You can also pack it up as a grab and go breakfast or snack with some yogurt and berries.
And honestly, you can customize it in whatever way makes the most sense for you and your household. If you are a family of banana lovers, use those instead of berries. Apples, pears, peaches…pretty much anything would work here (another bonus to this recipe!). Same goes for the bread – use whatever is your favorite (gluten-free works too!).
This dish is providing fiber, protein (more if you pair it with yogurt) and a stress-free morning for you. Definitely worth the 10 minutes it takes to pull together over the weekend if you ask me!
