There’s nothing like an already made breakfast ready to pop in the oven on a cold winter morning. This French toast casserole can be made the night before and baked in the morning. I made a gluten free and dairy free milk version, but any bread can be used and any type milk. 

Check out the RJ Food & Drink TikTok account for a step-by-step video on how to make this casserole.

(Inspired by Pinterest recipes with personal dietary adjustments.)

French toast:

■8 pieces of cut up bread (I used Udi’s Gluten Free white bread)■8 eggs beaten■2 ½ cups of milk (I used unsweetened coconut milk)■3 tablespoons brown sugar (I used coconut sugar)■1 ½ teaspoons cinnamon

■4 tablespoons cold chopped up butter■½ cup sugar (I used coconut sugar)■½ tablespoon cinnamon■¼ cup flour
