Scale
Berries:
- 6 cups berries (32 oz)
Bread:
- 1 lb thick bread
Wet Ingredients:
- 1 1/3 cup applesauce or mashed banana
- 2/3 cup milk of choice
- 2/3 cup egg whites or additional milk of choice
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup or agave or honey
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
- Dry Bread: If bread is not already slightly hard, either let it sit uncovered for a day before using, or bake the slices at 300 F for 15 minutes so they dry out.
- Prep Casserole: Grease a 9×13 inch pan. Cut the bread into approximately 1-inch pieces and layer evenly in the pan. Whisk together the applesauce, milk, eggs, maple, and vanilla (omit if using vanilla flavored milk), then pour this mixture evenly over the bread. Spread the berries over the top.
- Refrigerate: Cover and refrigerate overnight.
- Bake: Preheat the oven to 350 F, put the pan in the center rack, and bake 1 hour or until bread is lightly golden. Enjoy hot or cold.
