Ingredients

• 8 slices Whole grain bread
• 6 large Eggs
• 1 cup Milk
• 0.5 cup Vanilla protein powder
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg
• 0.25 cup Maple syrup
• 1 cup Fresh or frozen mixed berries
• 0.5 cup Almonds or nuts of choice
• 1 tablespoon Cooking spray or butter
• 1 cup Greek yogurt or cottage cheese

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.

Step 3

Cut whole grain bread slices into cubes and spread them evenly in the prepared baking dish.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla protein powder, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and maple syrup until well combined and smooth.

Step 5

Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread cubes in the baking dish. Press the bread down gently to ensure it's fully soaked.

Step 6

Evenly scatter mixed berries and nuts over the soaked bread cubes.

Step 7

Cover the baking dish with foil and allow it to sit for at least 15 minutes, or refrigerate overnight for best results.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the casserole has set in the center.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.

Step 10

Serve warm, topped with a dollop of Greek yogurt or cottage cheese for an extra protein boost, if desired.
