Raspberry French Toast Overnight Casserole

Ingredients

  • Coconut oil cooking spray or ghee for greasing dish
  • 8 slices Ezekiel bread toasted (drier bread will work better to soak up the custard)
  • 8 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut milk
  • 1/4 cup raw honey or maple syrup
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract or almond extract
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp of sea salt

Optional Topping ideas:

  • 1/3 cup almond flakes
  • 1/3 cup toasted coconut flakes
  • 2 cups fresh raspberries
  • raw honey to drizzle
  • pure maple syrup to drizzle

Instructions

  • Lightly spray a 9x13-inch casserole dish with cooking oil spray, or rub with ghee.
  • In a large mixing bowl whisk together your eggs, coconut milk, honey/maple syrup, vanilla, cinnamon and sea salt.
  • Dunk each toasted bread slice into your egg mixture to coat thoroughly, then arrange the slices in the prepared casserole dish as desired.
  • Pour any remaining egg mixture over the top of your bread.
  • Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
  • When ready to bake, preheat your oven to 320 degrees f.
  • Sprinkle almond flakes over the soaked bread slices.
  • Cover the dish with a lid or foil and transfer into your preheated oven, then bake until puffy and lightly golden, 25-35 minutes. The custard must be fully set.
  • Once it's done baking, allow to cool for a few minutes, then top with fresh raspberries and serve with a drizzle of raw honey, or pure maple syrup if desired.
