  2. 1 - ripe banana
  3. 1 cups - 2% reduced fat milk
  4. 3 - large eggs
  5. 3 - large egg whites
  6. 2 tablespoons - pure maple syrup
  7. 1 teaspoons - vanilla extract
  8. 1 teaspoons - ground cinnamon
  9. 1/4 teaspoons - kosher salt
  10. 1 packages - 10 oz. frozen mixed berries thawed

  14. 8 ounces - cream cheese (optional) cut into 1/2-inch cubes

Directions:

Arrange bread cubes in a 13- x 9-inch glass or ceramic baking dish coated with cooking spray.

Using a fork, mash banana in a large bowl until smooth. Whisk in milk, eggs, egg whites, maple syrup, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt until combined; stir in cream cheese cubes, if using. Pour mixture over bread cubes; toss to coat. Sprinkle berries over mixture. Cover with aluminum foil; chill 8 hours or overnight.

Preheat oven to 375°F.

Combine walnuts and brown sugar in a bowl. Add butter; using your fingers, mix until crumbly. Remove foil from chilled bread mixture; sprinkle bread mixture with walnut mixture. Replace foil cover.

Bake in preheated oven until casserole is set, about 30 minutes. Remove foil; bake until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Let stand at room temperature 5 minutes.
