BLUEBERRY-ALMOND FRENCH TOAST BAKE
Great breakfast to feed a group and loaded with protein and whole grains! Make ahead the night before, then pop in the oven before everyone gets up. I made this French toast bake for our group during a winter weekend of snowboarding. I just wish I had made two batches. It went fast! Serve with extra maple syrup and sausage on the side for a heartier meal.

BLUEBERRY-ALMOND TOASTS
This recipe uses prepared almond butter to make a quick version of frangipane, a sweetened nut-based custard used as a filling in desserts such as tarts. Fresh sweet-tart blueberries balance the richness of the custard but other berries such as raspberries would also work well.

OVERNIGHT BLUEBERRY FRENCH TOAST CASSEROLE
I made this for Christmas morning brunch, perfect to put in the oven and go open presents while it bakes. You can top with syrup or whipped cream or nothing at all. I found several different recipes similar to this one, but none had everything I wanted to do with it, so I thought I'd try to make my own. I think it is a very good start, but please, let me know what you think!

BLUEBERRY FRENCH TOAST BAKE
I based this recipe off other French toast casseroles but without all the white sugar most of them called for. The blueberries and maple syrup sweeten it up plenty! Serve with more maple syrup, if desired.
