This Pumpkin French Toast Casserole combines the best fall flavors: pumpkin, brown sugar and pumpkin pie spice. It's easy, delicious and the perfect breakfast for holidays or a lazy Saturday morning. Made with basic ingredients and protein packed from egg whites, this is one breakfast casserole you don't want to miss.
Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Prep a 9 x 13 inch baking dish with a lot of nonstick spray. The more the merrier so that it doesn't stick.
Cut the bread into bite-size pieces, leaving the crusts on, and place along the bottom of the baking dish.
Combine eggs, vanilla, brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice in a bowl. Whisk together to combine. Add pumpkin puree and whisk until fully combined. Pour on top of the bread.
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.
Bake the pumpkin French toast casserole at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Broil the top if needed.
Cut into 8 equal squares and serve. Top with protein frosting, maple syrup and a side of sausage.
Notes
You can double the egg whites for extra protein.
You can also use brioche, day-old bread or French bread.
If the top is browning too fast, tent with foil towards the end.
