A sweet treat that will brighten any morning.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
At this point, it\u2019s no secret that I love a good breakfast casserole. They let you sit down to a scrumptious and filling breakfast but take most of the work out of it. Even better when it\u2019s an overnight option that lets you get all the prep done the night before! This breakfast casserole is great for all of those reasons, but mostly because of its sweet and cinnamony banana flavor. It\u2019s a soft and comforting French toast bake, and if you love bananas, it\u2019s certain to become a favorite of yours from the first bite.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
French toast bakes are nice because while you\u2019re still getting that moist, custard soaked bread but you don\u2019t have to go to the trouble of cooking individual slices. You just cube up some bread\u2026<\/p>\n
