A delicious and easy Overnight Banana French Toast Casserole perfect for breakfast.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound loaf sourdough or French bread (cut into chunks)
- 8 large eggs
- 2 cups (480ml) milk (whole or 2%)
- ½ cup (120ml) heavy whipping cream
- ½ cup (104g) granulated sugar
- ¼ cup light brown sugar (unpacked)
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 6–7 medium bananas (chopped)
- ¾ cup (98g) all-purpose flour (for streusel topping)
- ¾ cup (169g) brown sugar (firmly packed, for streusel topping)
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon (for streusel topping)
- ½ cup (112g) unsalted butter (cut into pieces, for streusel topping)
Instructions
- Grease a 9×13 inch casserole dish.
- Add the bread chunks to a large bowl and set aside.
- In another large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, cream, sugars, vanilla extract and cinnamon.
- Pour the egg mixture over the bread chunks and add the chopped banana, then gently stir to combine everything.
- Pour the bread mixture into the prepared casserole dish and spread evenly in the pan. Cover the casserole and store in the fridge overnight.
- When ready to bake the casserole, preheat the oven to 350°F (176°C).
- Bake the casserole for about 35-40 minutes, or until it’s at your desired level of doneness.
- While the casserole bakes, combine the dry ingredients for the streusel, except for the butter.
- Add the butter and mash into the dry mixture until it forms a crumbly mixture.
- When the casserole looks about done, remove the casserole from the oven and crumble the streusel over the top of the casserole.
- Continue baking the casserole for about 5 minutes, or until the streusel is melted over the top.
- Serve the casserole warm with syrup.
Notes
- Bananas can be adjusted based on personal preference.
- For a sweeter casserole, add more sugar.
- Ensure the casserole is covered well before refrigerating overnight.
