Overnight Bananas Foster French Toast Casserole

Overnight breakfast casseroles are especially popular around the holidays.

They’re a great make-ahead choice because you can make them the night before and then just pop them in the oven the next morning.

That way, you still get a great breakfast without having to spend all morning in the kitchen missing out on all the festivities.

This recipe is a variation on one of my most popular recipes, Overnight Strawberry Cream Cheese-Stuffed French Toast Casserole.

This casserole isn’t super sweet, especially with the cream cheese in it.

If you like your French toast on the sweeter side, you can increase the granulated sugar in the French toast or give it a generous dusting of powdered sugar once it’s finished.
