As far as breakfasts go, I’m a pretty simple creature. I like simple things. And if I can make it ahead of time? Bonus points! This Pumpkin Spice French Toast Bake covers both bases with just a handful of ingredients needed and a few minutes of hands on time.

This French Toast Bake is basically a french toast that’s been turned into a casserole and had all the fun flavors of Fall tossed into it. Pumpkin and pumpkin spice and everything nice!

To make this french toast bake a little more guilt-free and healthy, I used a 100% whole wheat bread and subbed in some egg whites for some of the eggs. I also used a reduced fat milk and a brown sugar/sweetener blend to reduce the amount of sugar.

The end result is a perfectly delicious, fluffy, pumpkin infused breakfast casserole that you’re not soon to forget!

I like to make this over the weekend, that way I have a few days worth of breakfasts ready to go during the week. And while this breakfast isn’t freezer-friendly, it is meal-prep friendly! Divide evenly among your containers along with some fresh fruits for a grab-and-go reheat and eat breakfast.
