Ingredients

For The Casserole:

  • 2 cups unsweetened vanilla almond milk divided
  • 4 large eggs
  • 4 tablespoons honey
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 18-ounce loaf gluten-free white bread cubed, lightly packed
  • 1 cup strawberries sliced
  • 1/2 cup rhubarb sliced

For The Crumble:

  • 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 1/2 cup gluten-free rolled old-fashioned oats
  • 1/4 cup coconut sugar
  • 2 tablespoons + 2 teaspoons coconut oil at room temp, should be the consistency of softened butter

For The Sauce:

  • 2 cups strawberries roughly chopped
  • 1 cup rhubarb sliced
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons water

Instructions

  • In a very large bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups of the almond milk, the eggs, honey, vanilla, and salt until well combined.
  • Add the cubed bread, sliced strawberries, and rhubarb to the mixture. Gently toss until the bread is evenly coated in the egg mixture.
  • Pour the mixture into a greased casserole dish. Cover with tinfoil and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.
  • The next day, preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Pour the remaining 1/2 cup of almond milk over the casserole to give it some extra moisture. Gently press the bread cubes down so they are packed together.
  • In a small bowl, make the crumble by stirring together the almond flour, oats, and coconut sugar. Add the coconut oil and stir with your hands until well mixed and crumbly.
  • Sprinkle the crumble evenly over the casserole. Bake until the eggs are set and the casserole begins to bubble, about 50 minutes to 1 hour.
  • While the casserole bakes, combine all the ingredients for the sauce in a medium pot over medium heat. Bring to a steady simmer and cook until the strawberries soften, stirring frequently, about 7-8 minutes.
  • Lightly mash the rhubarb and strawberries with a fork, but make sure to leave some texture. Cook an additional 6-7 minutes until the sauce thickens and slightly reduces. Set aside.
  • Once the casserole is set, broil it on high for 2-3 minutes, until the crumble is lightly golden brown and crunchy. Watch it closely because the crumbs can burn quickly!
  • Pour the sauce over the casserole and serve warm.
