My family LOVES breakfast and especially if it's a "special breakfast"...meaning not the typical everyday cereal. I can't wait to make this Blueberry French Toast Bake myself. I had it recently when I was away on a girl's weekend. It is simply delicious!
(Makes about 12 servings)
Ingredients:
- 6 cups cubed, whole grain bread
- 8 egg whites
- 1 1/2 cups unsweetened almond milk
- 1/4 cup honey (or maple syrup)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons almond extract
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 2 cups fresh blueberries
Directions:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the egg whites, almond milk, honey, extracts and cinnamon. Whisk well.
- Oil a baking dish (about 9 x 13), and fill it with the bread.
- Pour the liquid mixture over the bread and allow it to sit for at least 30 minutes, mixing once or twice to be sure all parts of the bread are moistened.
- Mix in the blueberries.
- Bake the casserole at 350 F. for about 45 minutes or until there is no longer any liquid between the bread.
- Allow to cool a bit and serve.

Would you use 1 yellow and 1 purple for this on the 21 day fix?
ReplyDeleteHi! I would probably lean more on the safe side with 2 yellow, 1 purple, and 1 red because there are 8 egg whites in it…It you are going to follow it on a "loose" side, then maybe 1 yellow, 1/2 red 1/2 purple. But, remember it is primarily bread!! I hope that helps you out a bit! Hope this helps!!
DeleteBTW, Oh.those.boys! Do you have a support group for the 21 Day Fix? I have challenge groups starting each month for 21 Day Fix support if you need one…I'd love to get you plugged in!
DeleteI'm in a fb challenge group but only 3-4 of us are doing the fix. I'd love to be a part of another and learn even more about the fix!
