Easy Overnight Blueberry French Toast Casserole Recipe
I love this recipe because it takes all of about 10 minutes to throw together. If you do not have French Bread or Italian Bread use whats is on hand, it will still turn out amazing. If you do not have blueberries then use what you have.
I have used bananas or strawberries in the past. I also found once I had no frozen fruit so I did it fruitless and the kids still raved about it. That is a win for mom!

I’m making this now and find no instructions for make the sauce, just the ingredients. The syrup is has different ingredients. Kinda of confused.
Fixed the sauce is the Easy Homemade Blueberry Syrup Recipe
The ingredients listed for the syrup on this page are different than the ingredients listed for the sauce recipe when you follow the link. This one has water, cornstarch and butter. As the other one includes lemon juice.
