And it doesn’t stop with the Stuffed Overnight French Toast Casserole. At the bottom of the post, you will 5 more breakfast hacks that will make your mornings easier.

Face it, in the morning we’re so busy with kids and work that giving them a good breakfast is almost impossible.

It’s frustrating since I’m sending them to school with just a plate of oatmeal on their tummy. Trough time and organization, I learned a few ways to quicken my breakfast prepping and now you can do it too.

Now back to my yummy breakfast casserole. I prefer to use Challah, Brioche, or any other eggy bread you have available. It’s ok if it’s a few days old, drier bread soaks up more liquid and makes a tastier recipe. It’s a good way to get rid of old bread.

For this Stuffed Overnight French Toast Casserole, I used the new Jif Breakfast Spreads available in 2 flavors: maple and cinnamon.

It’s the same flavor of Jif peanut butter you all know and love with added natural flavors. I used the maple  flavor and it made my dish pop. For more great Jif ideas and morning hacks head over HERE.
