S’mores Overnight French Toast Casserole

A truly impressive, kid friendly breakfast casserole that can be assembled the night before, and baked to serve hot with little effort in the morning. This S’mores Overnight French Toast Casserole tastes like dessert, but is served for breakfast!

My house is full of tiny little dictators that pretty much rule my life and my schedule. I remember calling my mom when I was first married and didn’t have any kids. I would ask her how she was, and what she had going on. And EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. she would go into this diatribe about what each of the kids still living at home had going. “Well…Hannah has this, and Joe has that…and Juli is performing in…” You get the idea. I remember vividly feeling irritated that SHE never said what she had.

Then I had kids.

And realized that IS what she had. She had to drive them, help them prepare, smooth over hurt feelings or bruised egos, etc. So now that is my life too. I am not free between 3-8 pm on any given night because my kids have this and my kids have that.

You might think that I would resent them, but instead, I find myself wanting to impress them, to make their life fun, and to make moments together memorable. And one of the ways I do this is through food. If food could be a love language it would be mine. Well food and drink!

My kids inherited a lot of things from me. My stubbornness, my competitiveness, and my love of beverages. I love drinks. From cocoas and ciders to Italian sodas, and smoothies. And while we love TruMoo as is, have you guys ever tried it hot? It is like a secret short cut to amazing hot cocoa. And with the seasonal return of the TruMoo Chocolate Marshmallow I can make an awesome version that is even yummier. Plus it has not high fructose corn syrup, and comes fresh from your local dairy.

Well I took this fun flavor of TruMoo and made it into a S’mores overnight french toast casserole. Mornings with 4 kids are always crazy, so anything I can do to cut down the chaos or prepare ahead of time, I try to do. And overnight french toast is one of those fun hacks. My kids get a hot breakfast, but I don’t have to do the work during the morning.

And this recipe is so simple I can even let my kids help make it. Kids LOVE cracking eggs. Like totally love it. I don’t get it. But hey, anything to make the tiny dictators happy, right? Hahaha. But when what makes them happy makes me happy too, that is a win-win.

This breakfast casserole is one of those win-wins. My kids feel like they are eating dessert. And I do too. It is yummy! I love cooking it for about 40 minutes to get the bread really nice and crunch on top, I just love the texture. But my kids like it a little softer, so I usually scoop theirs from the middle or bottom.

But no matter where you scoop from, or what your preference, this fun, camping inspired breakfast is going to disappear quick. I like making it in smaller batches (loaf pan) and serving it with fresh fruit.

Grab a container of the limited edition TruMoo Chocolate Marshmallow, some french bread, I used the kind that comes in the paper sleeves, and is often near the check out, wafting those fresh baked bread smells, some eggs, and the s’mores extra and enjoy!

I know I will!
