Crock Pot French Toast Casserole
Crock Pot French toast casserole is a rich caramelized French toast recipe with rich maple flavors and the combination of a crumb top with a caramel bottom and fluffy bread middle. This French toast casserole recipe was bestowed on my thanks to my church. Every Easter our church has breakfast. One of the best bakers and home cooks has been in charge of the breakfast for the last few years. Her recipe for French toast bake is my new go-to French toast casserole. One weekend I wanted the casserole to be ready for us when we got home from church, so I was able to master the art of the crock pot french toast casserole. Real maple syrup and an insane amount of butter bring so much richness and flavor to this crock pot French toast casserole recipe.
The moist bread combined with the crusty edges will keep you coming back for one more bite about four or five times or until the casserole is gone. And did I mention maple syrup was in the recipe? Well, you might as well be prepared to drown the French toast with the maple syrup too.

How to make Crock Pot French Toast Casserole
To begin, combine a cup of brown sugar, 1/2 cup of butter and two tablespoons of maple syrup and melt in the microwave. Pour the melted mixture into a buttered casserole crock pot insert.
Cube a loaf of bread into bite-size pieces and layer over the sugary butter mixture.
Combine the eggs, milk, cream, sugar, and vanilla. Be sure to completely whisk the eggs and then pour over the bread and press the bread down with the back of a spoon to ensure all the bread is under the liquid.
Refrigerate the insert with the lid on overnight. In the morning, place the casserole crock pot insert back into the crock pot heat element. Make the crumb topping for the casserole before turning the heat on.
In a bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, and cold butter that has been cut into small pieces.
Stir to combine. Pour the crumb mixture over the top of the saturated bread. Cover the casserole and cook on high for two to three hours.
If you want the top to be extra crispy, I would put the casserole under the oven broiler for a few minutes. If you cannot wait to eat, you will still really love the French Toast casserole.
The crock pot French Toast Casserole is definitely not dry and can be eaten without syrup, but more syrup just makes it so much better. Go ahead and be sure to eat it with the real maple syrup.

Was given the opportunity to make this for my team at work. It was a huge hit! I had multiple people asked how I made it. I have already shared the recipe. People were so impressed that the bread was just actual bread and not rolls as light and fluffy it all turned out.
The small amount of leftover I smuggled home for my husband had a high five rating and he asked that I make it for his buddies on the next hunting trip. Very good!
Where can I purchase that crockpot? Love the size and shape.
The color doesn’t seem to be available any more but you can get on Amazon. https://amzn.to/32Bz2Jy
