Instructions

1. Lightly spray the insert of a 6-quart slow cooker with avocado oil.
2. Add the bread cubes in an even layer.
3. Blend the eggs, egg whites, cottage cheese, protein powder, almond milk, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt until completely smooth.
4. Pour the mixture evenly over the bread. Gently press the bread down so every piece is coated.
5. Cover and refrigerate the slow-cooker insert for up to 8 hours, or place it directly in the slow cooker if cooking immediately.
6. Set the slow cooker to LOW for 6 hours. Use a programmable slow cooker so it automatically switches to WARM when cooking is complete.
7. Turn off the slow cooker after no more than 2 hours on WARM. Divide the casserole into 6 equal portions.
8. Serve each portion with 1/2 cup berries and optional sugar-free maple syrup.

Freezer Storage

1. Cool the cooked casserole completely and divide into individual portions.
2. If four servings remain, use a gallon-size freezer bag. If fewer than four servings remain, use quart-size freezer bags.
3. Separate portions with parchment, remove excess air, and freeze for up to 2 months. Freeze the berries separately.

Reheating Instructions

1. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator.
2. Microwave one portion for 60 seconds, then continue in 20-second intervals until hot.
3. Add fresh or thawed berries after reheating.

40/400 Notes

• A programmable slow cooker is required for a true overnight cook so the edges do not overcook.
• Do not leave the casserole on WARM longer than 2 hours.
