Instructions
Peanut Butter and Jelly French Toast Casserole
Prepare an 8 X 8-inch baking dish by spraying it with cooking spray.
Evenly distribute half of the bread cubes in the prepared dish.
In a medium mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth.
Mix in the PB2 Organic Powdered Peanut Butter, sugar, vanilla and salt. With the mixer on low, pour in the milk and heavy cream and beat until well combined. Add the eggs and mix well.
Pour half of the mixture over the bread cubes.
Using a teaspoon, evenly place 8 dollops of grape jam on top of the bread cubes.
Place the remaining bread cubes into the pan, and evenly pour the rest of the liquid over the bread. Add the rest of the jam to the top by teaspoonfuls, again placing evenly.
Cover tightly with plastic wrap and place into refrigerator overnight or for a minimum of 6-8 hours.
Peanut Butter Crumb Topping
In a medium bowl, combine the oats, brown sugar, PB2 Organic Powdered Peanut Butter, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Using your fingers or a pastry cutter, blend in the chilled butter until the mixture is completely combined. Place into a sealed plastic bag and place into refrigerator overnight or make in the morning before placing casserole into the oven.
Baking
Preheat oven to 350° F. and remove plastic wrap.
Sprinkle the topping mixture over the top and bake for 45 minutes. Serve topped with powdered sugar and maple syrup.
Notes
If necessary, after combining ingredients in mixer, use a rubber spatula to smooth out any clumps in the batter. It's ok if there are some that still remain.
