    An easy, vegan breakfast casserole that is a great way to use up leftover bread and a lot easier than making individual french toast.

    casserole dish with Vegan French Toast Casserole plus banana, bread and peanut butter

    Having house guests always leaves me with leftover food. The other week, my sister, her kids & their friends spent a few days with me in San Diego. It was so much fun!

    Did I mention that it was 7 people (3 adults including me and 4 kids) in my 450 square foot studio apartment? Yep. Luckily, I really love & like these people.

    Anywho, they went to the store when we first got here since I'd been gone for about a week (i.e. had absolutely no food).

    They bought some bread, and while I love bread, I don't eat it that often. Not because I'm restricting myself from bread but I just prefer to have something more substantial for breakfast and I don't love sandwiches.

    That being said, I had about half of a loaf of bread hanging around my house. Plus some bananas that were past their prime. Oh and peanut butter because I always have peanut butter.

    I decided I'd make some french toast casserole because that always makes me happy; then I realized that I was completely out of eggs. What the?! I am never out of eggs.

    Instead of running to the store, I decided to get creative and come up with a vegan version of french toast. Not everyone eats eggs, and I think they should be able to enjoy french toast casserole, too!

    There were a few things I did to help the french toast casserole to taste like the kind I am used to eating (meaning, one with eggs and milk).

    To help the casserole rise (who wants a flat, super chewy breakfast casserole? ew), I added some baking powder. I also added a ton of goodies like banana, peanut butter, vanilla extract, maple syrup and cinnamon.

    I served mine with a little extra maple syrup and a smoothie (that's also vegan) for some extra produce. You could also have a big bowl of cut up fruit for a crowd.

    This is a great meal to make for a big group, and while the recipe only serves 4, it's super easy to double it for a crowd.
