Ingredients

The following ingredients have 8 Servings
  • 6 bagels, (cut into 1-inch pieces)
  • 1 cup diced strawberries ((or blueberries or a combination))
  • 8 large eggs
  • 1 3/4 cups milk ((I used almond milk.))
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup coconut palm sugar or other sugar
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup coconut palm sugar (or other sugar)
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon sea salt
  • 4 tablespoons butter, (melted)
  • maple syrup
  • fresh berries

Instruction

  • Layer cubed bagel pieces and diced strawberries in a greased 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, maple syrup, sugar, vanilla and cinnamon until completely combined. Pour egg mixture over bagel pieces, cover, and refrigerate for about two hours or overnight.
  • Before baking, preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • To make the cinnamon glaze, stir sugar, cinnamon, salt and melted butter. Drizzle over the top of bagel pieces just before baking.
  • Bake for 50-60 minutes, and until the top is golden brown and the egg mixture is cooked through. Cover with aluminum foil at about the 20-minute mark, so top doesn't get too brown.
  • Let casserole cool for 5-10 minutes. Serve warm with a dusting of powdered sugar and/or a drizzle of maple syrup and fresh berries. Enjoy!
