Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup butter, melted
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup fresh cranberries, divided
  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips, divided
  • 1 loaf gluten-free bread Canyon Bakehouse is our go-to
  • 2 cup milk
  • 6 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon gluten-free vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon allspice

Instructions

  • Cut gluten-free bread (Canyon Bakeouse works great) into cubes
  • Melt butter in 9x13 pan then sprinkle with brown sugar
  • Top with half the cranberries
  • Evenly spread bread cubes on top of the cranberries
  • Whisk eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and allspice into a large bowl
  • Pour egg mixture over bread cubes and press down so each is submerged at least for a minute
  • Sprinkle with remaining cranberries and half the white chocolate chips
  • After done baking, top with remaining white chocolate chips

Notes

Pro Tip: Add another layer of white chocolate chips right when the casserole comes out of the oven for extra decadence and a beautiful presentation

Tips for best results

  • Let rest - After assembling the casserole, place it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before baking. This way, the custard mixture has time to soak into the bread giving you a moist and extra flavorful casserole.
  • Don't skimp on the add-ins - Whether you're using cranberries and chocolate chips, fresh strawberries, peanut butter chips, chia seeds, chopped nuts, etc. don't be afraid to add more. The casserole will look and taste better with more toppings.
  • Top it off - Serve with pure maple syrup, a drizzle of honey, some whipped cream, greek yogurt, etc. for more flavor.
  • Stale bread - If your favorite bread has gone stale, you can use it in this french toast casserole recipe. Stale bread actually works better than fresh bread because it's able to absorb more egg custard.
