Blueberry-Almond French Toast Bake image

Great breakfast to feed a group and loaded with protein and whole grains! Make ahead the night before, then pop in the oven before everyone gets up. I made this French toast bake for our group during a winter weekend of snowboarding. I just wish I had made two batches. It went fast! Serve with extra maple syrup and sausage on the side for a heartier meal.

BLUEBERRY FRENCH TOAST BAKE

I based this recipe off other French toast casseroles but without all the white sugar most of them called for. The blueberries and maple syrup sweeten it up plenty! Serve with more maple syrup, if desired.
