Pumpkin French Toast Casserole (Crock-Pot)
This recipe for crock pot french toast casserole is my most favorite because you can get everything prepped the night before, and then let it sit in the slow cooker all morning. My family loves when I make this on Christmas morning. They also go crazy when I make a Crescent Bacon Breakfast Ring or Red Velvet Cinnamon Rolls.

The cinnamon raisin bread we use for this is so yummy. But you can use whatever bread that sounds good or what you’ve got in the pantry. The pure maple syrup though, is key, trust me on that one!

I love making this. It is so good, but I make it in the oven instead of the slow cooker. I mix everything together and put it in a dish and bake 30 minutes at 350. I make it the night before and let it sit in the fridge. So yummy!!
