Chocolate French Toast Casserole – this easy overnight french toast recipe is full of chocolate from the milk to the chocolate chips! It’s the perfect indulgent brunch recipe!
Last week I discovered hot yoga. Have you ever tried it? A friend of mine gave me a free one week pass to her studio, which is the only reason I went. I’ve heard about hot yoga before but never wanted to try it. I mean, exercising in a 100° room? No thanks. But it was free, and it was girlfriend time, so I went along. And guess what? I loved it. I’ve gone back three times since, and I plan to buy a few classes a week.
I’ve been doing yoga for about a year now, at home, with Youtube. It was the first time I’d ever done it in a group setting, and I was glad that I had been doing it long enough that I knew the poses and could do most of them without making a fool of myself. The heat was a total game changer though; I think I lost a pound or two just in perspiration. I always feel stretched out and cleansed after I do yoga at home but after doing hot yoga; I felt amazing after.
I’ve learned a couple of things after just going a few times. One, you really need a yoga mat towel, on that’s made not to slip. Two, bring socks. Walking barefoot into class is one thing. Walking barefoot out of class? *shudder* And three, always have a meal planned after you’re done because you’re gonna be hangry.
The second hot yoga class I did was a sculpting class, with weights. It was at 9am on Saturday morning and, even though I had eaten breakfast, I was famished when I was done and dreaming about Chocolate French Toast Casserole.
Raise your hand if you love baked french toast. Both of my hands are high in the air because baked is way better than traditional. I’m not much for a dipped and fried french toast, but I love making it as an overnight casserole. Plus, if you make it the night before, you can enjoy your family in the morning and not be in the kitchen cooking while they’re relaxing reading the Sunday paper.
(I don’t do morning breakfasts…and if I do, it means I really love you.)
There is double the chocolate in this french toast casserole: in the milk and in the chocolate chips. It’s a sinfully good brunch recipe that’s perfect for a holiday or even as a bread pudding for dessert.
