Grain-Free Blueberry and Sausage French Toast Bake

I made Elana Amsterdam's Scrumptious Sandwich Bread a few weekends ago to use for a French Toast Bake for my family.
I used to make this-

Thanks to my friend, Megan (and her mom), I love the combination of sausage and blueberries. I would make the bake but add chopped chicken sausage links or crumbled breakfast sausage on it as well-Amazing!
This time, I used Elana's bread and substituted almond milk and coconut sugar for other non-paleo ingredients. (By the way, I've also made this with blackberries, and it was great too.)


My version-
1 loaf of Elana's Scrumptious Sandwich Bread, using coconut or olive oil for greasing your pan OR your favorite grain-free loaf, cut into cubes
8 eggs
8 egg whites
2 cups unsweetened almond milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp cinnamon
1/3 cup pure maple syrup
2 links of Aidell's chicken and apple sausage OR your favorite sausage (precook this if not already), chopped
2 cups fresh blueberries or frozen, thawed and drained blueberries
2 tbs coconut sugar
**Handful of slivered almonds (optional)

Grease a 9x13 baking dish with coconut or olive oil
Place cubed bread in a single layer on the bottom
Whisk eggs, egg whites, almond milk, vanilla, cinnamon, and maple syrup all together
Pour this mixture over the bread
Scatter the blueberries and sausage all over (and slivered almonds if using)
Sprinkle with coconut sugar
Cover and refrigerate at least 8 hours, but overnight is perfect

When you are ready-
Preheat oven to 350
Bake uncovered for an hour
