Method
- Prepare the Oven and Dish: Spray an 8×8-inch baking dish with oil and preheat the oven to 375°F.
- Make the Custard: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, oat milk, salt, cinnamon, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until combined.
- Coat the Bread: Dip each halved slice of bread into the egg mixture, making sure it is coated, then arrange the pieces in the prepared baking dish.
- Add the Blueberries: Stir the wild blueberries into the remaining egg mixture, then pour the blueberry mixture evenly over the bread in the baking dish.
- Bake the French Toast: Bake at 375°F for about 30 minutes, or until the liquid has been absorbed and the bake is set.
- Serve: Enjoy the blueberry French toast bake warm.
Notes
- Use your preferred type of bread; the recipe works with 4 slices, halved.
- The oat milk keeps the bake dairy-free while contributing to the soft, custardy texture.
- Maple syrup can be adjusted between 1 and 2 tablespoons according to your preferred level of sweetness.
- Coat each piece of bread with the egg mixture before arranging it in the baking dish so the bread absorbs the custard evenly.
- Add the wild blueberries to the remaining egg mixture, then pour everything over the assembled bread.
- The bake is ready when the liquid has been absorbed after about 30 minutes in the 375°F oven.
Chef’s Secret
For the best texture, make sure each piece of bread gets a thorough coating of the egg-and-oat-milk mixture before it goes into the baking dish.
This helps the bread absorb the custard and become soft and tender as it bakes, while adding the blueberries to the remaining mixture distributes their flavor throughout the finished bake.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the French toast bake warm for a simple breakfast straight from the oven.
A little extra maple syrup makes a natural topping and complements the blueberries, while additional wild blueberries can add a fresh, fruity finish.
For a more complete breakfast, pair a serving with fresh fruit or another simple breakfast side.

With just 5 minutes of preparation and about 30 minutes in the oven, it’s a practical choice for both relaxed mornings and meal prep.
