Author: Ashley
Recipe type: Breakfast
Ingredients
- ½ cup Splenda Brown Sugar
- 5 tbsp lite butter, melted
- 1 ¼ cups All-Whites
- 1 cup of skim milk
- #8 1 inch thick slices of bread (any variety, but brioche or challah work fantastic)
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- 1 ½ tsp cinnamon
- ¼ tsp ground ginger
- ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
- ⅛ tsp salt
- ¼ cup chopped nuts (any variety, peanuts, pecan, walnuts etc.)
Instructions
- In a small microwave safe bowl, melt butter and combine with brown sugar. Pour half the mixture on the bottom of a 9x13 inch casserole dish or baking pan.
- In a medium-large bowl combine all whites, milk, vanilla, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and salt. Mix well.
- Dip bread slices into the milk/egg mixture and layer in the casserole dish. Overlap if necessary.
- Pour any remaining milk/egg mixture over bread in dish.
- Spoon remaining brown sugar/butter mixture over slices of bread.
- Sprinkle nuts evenly over bread slices.
- Wrap tightly with aluminum foil or plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator overnight.
- In the morning, remove dish from fridge, uncover and allow to sit while oven preheats to 350 degrees F.
- Bake uncovered for 30-35 minutes. Check to make sure the bottom of each is cooked before removing from oven. Oven temps vary and therefore so does cook-time.
- Serve drizzled with maple syrup or sprinkled with powdered sugar. Enjoy!
Notes
* Serve alongside scrambled eggs, bacon or sausage for additional protein.
* Top with fresh cut strawberries or blueberries for one of your daily servings of fruit.
