Ingredients
6 cups mixed berries (fresh or frozen)
1 pound thick-cut bread (such as sourdough or French), slightly dried
1 1/3 cups unsweetened applesauce or mashed ripe bananas
2/3 cup milk (any type)
2/3 cup liquid egg whites or additional milk
1/4 cup maple syrup, agave, or honey
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
If the bread is fresh and soft, allow it to dry out by leaving it uncovered for a day or baking it at 300°F for about 15 minutes.
Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Cut the bread into 1-inch cubes and spread them evenly in the prepared dish.
In a bowl, whisk together the applesauce (or banana), milk, egg whites (or more milk), sweetener, and vanilla if using.
Pour the mixture evenly over the bread cubes.
Spread the berries across the top.
Cover the dish and refrigerate overnight.
In the morning, preheat the oven to 350°F.
Bake the casserole for 1 hour, or until the top is lightly golden and the center is set.
Serve warm or chilled.
