Ingredients

1 ripe banana with brown spots
5-6 slices of bread
2 eggs
⅓ cup milk
½ tsp ground cinnamon
½ tsp vanilla extract
½ cup blueberries
cooking spray (for greasing pan)
1 tbsp maple syrup (optional for added sweetness)

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C).
Cut the bread slices into squares and add them to a pre-greased loaf pan.
Sprinkle blueberries in the pan with the bread.
Blend together the banana, eggs, milk, cinnamon, and vanilla to form the batter.
Pour the batter on top, press down the bread pieces, and top with more blueberries.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight and bake for 35 minutes.

Notes

When pouring the batter over the bread in the pan, it will seem like a lot of batter, but the bread will absorb the liquid and it will soak up in the fridge. This makes for a very moist French toast bake when cooked, but if you prefer something less moist, you can pour in a little less batter.
Soaking the French toast bake overnight gives the bread more time to soak up all of the liquids, but try to soak for at least 2 hours if in a pinch.
I love using this nutribullet blender to blend the ingredients into a smooth batter!
I used a 9 by 5 loaf pan for this recipe, but you may use an 8 by 8 brownie pan for a thinner bake.
This recipe can be made in a muffin pan to make blueberry French toast muffins. Make sure to pack the bread into the muffin pan after pouring the batter so that it binds well.
I serve these as is to my baby and like to pour maple syrup on top for everyone else for a little added sweetness!
