If you have been around the blog for a while you know I do not do mornings. Getting up, getting kids ready, AND cooking; that is asking a bit much. I love recipes that I can make the night before. My kids love this Vanilla Blueberry Overnight French Toast Casserole! This makes my morning go so much smoother.
Vanilla Blueberry Overnight French Toast Casserole
This recipe is the definition of my Easy Breakfast Recipes. I think 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 have added nuts to this as well, pecans seems to be a favorite of my kids. I suggest using this as one of your breakfast for dinner recipes. Having breakfast for dinner is how I am feeding a family on a budget. Having a meal once a week that is cheap like breakfast is a huge budget saver.

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.
