Ingredients:
- 1 whole - 8 oz. day-old whole-grain crusty baguette cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 - ripe banana
- 1 cups - 2% reduced fat milk
- 3 - large eggs
- 3 - large egg whites
- 2 tablespoons - pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoons - vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoons - ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoons - kosher salt
- 1 packages - 10 oz. frozen mixed berries thawed
- 1/3 cups - chopped walnuts
- 2 tablespoons - light brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons - cold unsalted butter cut into small cubes
- 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.
