¼cuphoney or maple syrupmake it sugar free with your favorite sweetener, I just don't like using them
2teaspoonsvanilla extract
Pinchof salt
1poundcubed wholemeal breadpreferably a day old (I used homemade spelt sourdough)
2cupsmixed berriesI used frozen
8ounceslow fat cottage cheeseblended until smooth (can also use full fat, but I've never even seen that at my store?)
1small handfulrolled oatsoptional
Fresh berriesto serve
Instructions
Make the milk mix: Place the eggs, milk, cinnamon, sweetener, vanilla and salt in a large measuring jug and whisk until smooth.
Layer the casserole: To a lightly greased 7x11 baking dish (9x13 would work, too, it's just a little flatter), add half of the cubed bread. Pour over ⅓ of the milk mixture. Top with the 2 cups mixed berries and then dot with the blended cottage cheese. Add the remaining bread and pour over the remaining milk mixture, making sure all the bread pieces are soaked.
Chill the casserole: Cover the casserole dish and chill the casserole in the fridge for at least 30 minutes, preferably overnight.
Bake the casserole: Once you're ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350°F. Remove the bake from the fridge and uncover. Sprinkle with oats, if you like. Bake for 30-40 minutes, until the top is golden and the bake has set.
Serve: allow to rest for 5 minutes before dishing out portions. Serve with fresh berries.
