Why You’ll Love This Vegan French Toast Casserole

Looking for a vegan breakfast casserole that’s both indulgent and blood-sugar-friendly? This recipe turns cubes of keto or low-carb vegan bread into a fluffy, custardy bake that tastes like a cinnamon roll — but with no eggs, no dairy, and almost no sugar.

It’s perfect for meal prep or make-ahead brunch, since you can soak it overnight and bake in the morning.

Vegan French Toast Casserole

Ingredients
  

  • For the casserole:
  • 6 cups cubed keto or low-carb vegan bread
  • 1 ¾ cups unsweetened soy milk or almond milk
  • ¼ cup full-fat coconut milk
  • 3 tbsp ground flaxseed egg replacer
  • 3 tbsp monk fruit or erythritol
  • 2 tbsp melted coconut oil or vegan butter
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp nutmeg
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional: ½ cup fresh berries or ⅓ cup chopped pecans
  • Sugar-Free Maple Glaze Optional
  • 2 tbsp vegan butter or coconut oil
  • 2 tbsp sugar-free maple syrup Lakanto or ChocZero
  • ¼ tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp almond milk

Method
 

  1. Prep your bread: use day-old or lightly toasted low-carb bread.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together soy milk, coconut milk, flaxseed, sweetener, oil, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Rest 5 minutes.
  3. Add bread cubes; toss until fully coated.
  4. Spread into a greased baking dish and press down lightly.
  5. Let soak 30 minutes (or cover overnight).
  6. Bake at 350 °F / 180 °C for 35–40 minutes, until golden and slightly crisp on top.

Make-Ahead & Storage Tips

  • Overnight French toast casserole: assemble the night before, cover, and refrigerate. Bake fresh in the morning.
  • Storage: refrigerate up to 4 days. Reheat with a splash of milk for a soft texture.
  • Freezer-friendly: freeze individual portions and microwave straight from frozen.

 Variations

  • Vegan apple french toast casserole: layer sliced apples before baking.
  • Cinnamon roll version: swirl in brown-erythritol butter and top with cream-cheese glaze.
  • No tofu / no egg options: already fully egg-free thanks to flaxseed custard.
Can I make this without coconut milk?

Yes! Replace with more soy milk plus 1 tbsp oil for creaminess.

Is this gluten-free?

Use gluten-free keto bread or almond-flour bread to make it completely gluten-free.

Can I use Just Egg or tofu instead of flaxseed?

Yes, both work. ½ cup Just Egg or ½ cup silken tofu = about 3 tbsp flaxseed.
