French Toast Casserole
THM:E, low fat, sugar free
Author: Briana Thomas
Serves: 4-6
Ingredients
- 4 c. cubed bread (such as my Homemade Bread recipe)
- 1 c. blueberries
- -
- ¾ c. unsweetened almond milk
- ¾ c. egg whites
- 1 tsp. THM Super Sweet Blend (or more, to taste)
- 1 tsp. cinnamon
- ½ tsp. baking powder
- ½ tsp. vanilla extract
- ⅛ tsp. salt
- ⅛ tsp. THM Pure Stevia Extract Powder
- ¼ tsp. xanthan gum
- -
- 3 oz. reduced-fat cream cheese
Instructions
- Spread the cubed bread in a greased 8x8" baking dish. Top with the blueberries.
- Blend (or beat) the second set of ingredients together and pour over the top of the casserole.
- Soften the cream cheese and whisk in a dash of water to thin it down enough to dollop and spread over the top of the dish. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
- In the morning, bake the casserole (uncovered) at 375* for 45-50 minutes or until the desired crunchiness on top is achieved. Let the casserole cool for 5-10 minutes before serving, then serve with sugar-free syrup.
Notes
-You can use any bread that's on plan in a THM E setting for Trim Healthy Mamas. Sprouted or sourdough bread would probably be closest in texture and fuel type to the bread I used. Fuel Pull breads made with something like THM Baking Blend may not soak up as much liquid and may not hold up as well.
-If you don't plan to top this casserole with sugar-free syrup, you may wish to add more THM Super Sweet Blend.
-The fat from the cream cheese falls within THM:E guidelines (it comes to 4.5g per serving if the casserole is cut into 4 large servings).
