Although traditionally served warm, this stuffed french toast meal prep recipe is an easy and healthy, high-protein, breakfast that is best served chilled. Gluten-free. Vegetarian.
Our favorite day of the week would have to be Sunday. We get to sleep in, whip up a healthy, yet indulgent breakfast, head off to church, spend time with our families and then get our meal prep done for the week. Our least favorite day of the week; Monday. Or it was until this Stuffed French Toast Meal Prep recipe came into our lives and made our Monday mornings feel like Sundays'.
Now, you may be thinking, "French Toast for meal prep?! No Way." But, did we steer you wrong with our pancake meal prep? What about our waffle meal prep? That's what we thought. 😉
Although traditionally served warm and yes, this stuffed french toast meal prep can be too, this easy and healthy, high-protein, breakfast recipe is actually best served chilled making it a meal prep dream. Personally, we just kind of pick it up and eat it with our hands like a sandwich, unless of course, you opt to add on the maple syrup and in that case, we recommend a fork. We don't think your co-workers want your sticky syrup fingers all over their Monday morning reports.

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F

- Bake for about 55 minutes or until fully cooked.
- Allow to cool for 30 minutes and then enjoy right away or divide between 4 meal prep containers.
- Can be enjoyed warm or chilled***. Serve with syrup and additional berries, if desired.
Notes
* Feel free to swap liquid stevia for 2 tablespoon coconut sugar or any granulated sweetener.
** You can use any berries you'd like or even chocolate chips.
***We much prefer this chilled. If you are going to enjoy for meal prep, eat chilled. Do not reheat in a microwave. If you are eating it at home and would like to reheat it, place 1 slice wrapped in foil, in a preheated 350 degree F oven and bake until heated.

love the look of this recipe! how would you go about storing it for meal prep purposes? would you recommend freezing it to avoid the bread getting soggy? or is it okay in the fridge?
Great question, Madisson! If you are using a thick bread then it should hold up. We have had several people make and share this recipe on social media and all said it held up beautifully. We haven't tried freezing it, but if you try it out please let us know how it works.
If I am at work and want to eat warm and I only have a microwave, how can I warm it up. Your note in recipe says not to warm in microwave.
You CAN warm it up in the microwave, but it will be a bit soft. Many people eat it cold or reheat it in a toaster oven to give the bread a nice bit of crunch.
