How to make this pumpkin spice breakfast casserole
Step 1: preheat & Prep
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Prep a 9 x 13-inch casserole dish with a lot of nonstick spray. The more the merrier so that it doesn’t stick.
Step 2: prep the bread
Cut the bread into bite-size bread cubes, leaving the crusts on, and place along the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Step 3: egg mixture
In a medium bowl whisk eggs, vanilla, brown sugar, and pumpkin pie spice. Whisk until combined. Add pumpkin puree and whisk until fully combined. Pour on top of the bread.
Step 4: crumble topping
Add oats, butter and brown sugar to a small bowl. Microwave until the butter has melted, approximately 30-60 seconds, and mix together. It will be chunky. Evenly sprinkle on top of the casserole.
Step 5: bake
Bake the pumpkin French toast casserole at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Broil the top until golden brown, if needed.
Step 6: serve & Enjoy
Cut into 8 individual slices and serve. Top with a protein frosting, maple syrup, and a side of sausage and enjoy!
Recipe Tips
- Do the prep work ahead of time! The best way is to assemble everything expect the crumb topping and cover with aluminum foil. Place in the fridge overnight. The next morning or when ready to bake: preheat the oven and sprinkle the crumble topping over top. Bake the casserole, covered with foil, for about 35 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking for about 10-20 minutes until baked through.

Made this for breakfast this morning. Simple to prep & then it baked while I drank my 1st cup of coffee. I did the frosting too, and just drizzled it over the whole pan before serving. No syrup was needed. I added a spirnkle of cinnamon to my serving and it was perfect. Delicious, healthy, and pretty easy prep too! Will definitely do this one again! And yes, I had almost 2 servings. Yum!
Made it for the first time this morning and my 7 year old daughter said she wants it for breakfast every day – so I’d call that a real winner!!
Woohoo!! That’s a huge win for sure!
This is seriously so good. My daughter didn’t care for the bread’s crusts, but the adults loved it!
This is delicious! We topped with Walden farms sugar free syrup. Do you store leftovers in the fridge?
delicious! even my husband cleared his plate. perfect for the holidays!
I have made this probably 8 times, changing it up a little each time. Increasing the eggs, the pumpkin, different ways to make a the frosting. This is truly an absolutely delicious breakfast and you can increase the protein by adding more egg whites which my husband and I prefer. It’s so good and lasts for a few days in the fridge. My daughter who is exploring new foods even loves this!
This is delicious!
This is seriously SO delicious. I will be eating pumpkin all year round with no shame because oh my goodness this is the best egg white bake I’ve ever had. You can not taste the eggs AT ALL! Paired it with her protein icing and *chefs kiss* too good and would like to eat the whole pan but I can’t because it’s so filling! You outdid yourself with this one sis!
Yay!! Thank you!! So glad you loved it.
Just made this…. Absolutely delicious with Walden farms sugar free syrup on top!!!! Did you use regular Dave’s white bread or the thin sliced? I went with regular!
Yay! So great to hear, thank you! I use regular not thin.
