My doughnut obsession is REAL. When our twins were just teeny tiny babies, we started a weekend we call Doughnut Morning. Every Saturday we pile in the car, sun, rain, or freak snow storm, and take a drive to get doughnuts for breakfast.
We’ve done the grocery store, the specialized corner bakery, the gas station even (often when we’re out of town), but Krispy Kreme is our favorite. It’s a little further out of the way but worth the drive every single time when I’m blissfully devouring my share of a fresh dozen back home in my Saturday morning comfy socks.
Blueberry doughnuts are my jam. Easily one of my top three favorite doughnuts, and Krispy Kreme makes a really killer Glazed Blueberry Cake Doughnut.
Today I’m really excited to be sharing how I use Krispy Kreme Glazed Blueberry Cake Doughnuts as a hack in one of my favorite holiday breakfast recipes, overnight French toast casserole! What? French toast casserole meets blueberry doughnut?? YES! Pure breakfast magic.
So how do you make this sweet concoction? It’s sooo easy! The night before, chop up some Krispy Kreme Glazed Blueberry Cake Doughnut and layer them in a greased baking dish. Whisk together milk, eggs, vanilla, and a bit of sugar and pour it over the doughnuts. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
The next morning, uncover the baking dish and pop it in the oven for about 40 minutes until cooked through. While it’s cooling a little bit, whip up the glaze by combining cream cheese, butter, vanilla, milk, and powdered sugar and mix until light and fluffy. Drizzle that rich ‘n creamy goodness over the casserole and get ready to be amazed.
