Ingredients
8
large
croissants
1
pint
fresh blueberries
1
Tablespoon
flour
1
Tablespoon
confectioners sugar
8
large
eggs
5-6
oz
your favorite blueberry yogurt
I used Silk Diary-free Yogurt alternative
⅓
cup
pure maple syrup
1
teaspoon
vanilla
1-2
teaspoons
cinnamon
2
Tablespoons
Grand Marnier or brandy
(optional)
Garnish: Confectioners sugar
Instructions
Lightly spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray.
Cut croissants in half then cut each half in fourths. Place in prepared dish in single layer, scrunching to fit.
In a medium bowl, coat blueberries with combination of flour and confectioners sugar. This helps keep more of the juices inside the berries.
Sprinkle the blueberries on top of the cut croissants.
In a large bowl, mix yogurt, maple syrup, vanilla, cinnamon and Grand Marnier, if using. Stir well.
Pour over croissant-blueberry mixture then press croissants down into liquid.
Cover with plastic wrap and place in refrigerator for at least 1 hour or for overnight.
When ready to bake, preheat oven to 350 degrees. Remove French Toast Bake from refrigerator while oven is heating up.
Bake for 30-35 minutes or until set.
Remove from oven and dust with powdered sugar.
Serve with maple syrup and extra blueberries.
Notes
Variations
Change out the blueberries for strawberries, apples, peaches or cherries.
Want a more crunchy casserole? Add chopped pecans or your favorite nut.
Want something a little more hearty? Add chopped cooked bacon, ham or crumbled sausage to the mix.
Love even more sweetness? Add a crumb layer on top just prior to baking. (see crumb topping from my
Lemon Blueberry Muffins
)
