Can French Toast Bake Be Prepped the Night Before?

Many French Toast Bake recipes can be made the night before and baked in the morning. However, as our gluten-free fam knows all too well, gluten-free bread acts a bit differently than traditional bread in recipes. Adding the liquid ingredients to this French Toast Bake the night before will most likely turn your bread into a mushy mess. 

If you’re looking to simplify your morning, you can prepare your bread in a baking dish and prepare the liquid mixture separately. Cover both and place in the refrigerator, then combine in the morning. You may need to lightly re-whisk your liquid mixture before pouring over the bread.

Whether you’re looking to recreate your favorite childhood dish, or just looking for something new to get creative in the kitchen, this recipe is perfect for you! 

Gluten-free & Dairy-free French Toast Bake

(Makes 3-4 servings)

Ingredients

  • ¼ cup of Partake Classic Graham Crackers, crushed
  • 4 slices gluten-free bread (like Bread Srsly or Canyon Bakehouse)
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup non-dairy milk
  • 2 Tbsp sugar
  • 1 cup chocolate chips

  • Powdered sugar, for dusting
  • Maple syrup, if desired

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 F degrees.
  2. Spray a baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
  3. Use a knife (or your hands!) to break bread into bite-sized pieces, about 1 inch squares. Add bread cubes to the prepared baking dish.  
  4. Sprinkle the bread cubes with most of the chocolate chips, mini marshmallows, and crushed graham crackers, reserving some of each for later.
  5. In a medium mixing bowl, add non-dairy milk, cornstarch, vanilla, and sugar. Whisk to combine well (making sure cornstarch is dissolved), and pour mixture over bread cubes.  
  6. Top with the remainder of the chocolate chips, marshmallows and crushed graham crackers.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and chocolate is melted.  Dust with powdered sugar and drizzle with maple syrup if desired.
  8. Serve and enjoy!
