Cinnamon Raisin Breakfast Casserole is a comforting way to start your day. A custard filled casserole that is cinnamon raisin flavor in every bite. Breakfast casseroles are my favorite way to make breakfast fun and easy.
I’ve been experimenting with different types of overnight breakfast casseroles. I made a decadent Caramel Pecan Breakfast Casserole where a sweet tooth is a must. It got the wheels turning as I thought about what else would taste good for breakfast.
Then it hit me. I saw raisin bread on sale in the flyer and knew what my next recipe would be. I whipped up this Cinnamon Raisin Breakfast Casserole and it couldn’t have turned out better!
The base is raisin bread which I love on it’s own slathered with butter for breakfast. Instead, it’s topped with a milk and egg mixture and brown sugar and cinnamon topping. It’s sweet, yes, but so darn yummy!
Serve with pancake syrup!
I guess another name for it could be a french toast casserole. It has just a few extras in it.
This casserole did not last long! I put a little bit of maple syrup on mine, but it would be fine without too. I know I’ll be making this recipe again and SOON!
I think next I’ll have to try a savory breakfast casserole to balance out all these sweet ones! The sweet ones are hard to resist though…

What If I Don’t Have Cinnamon Raisin Bread
If you don’t have cinnamon raisin bread or don’t like raisins you can always opt for regular bread. Or you could take it a step further and do croissants in replace of the bread.
You just want to ensure that the bread is stiffer in texture so that it soaks up the egg mixture that it can create the proper texture as it bakes up.
Can I Double This Casserole Bake Recipe
Yes, you sure can. Just make sure to reach for a second pan and bake it that way. You don’t want your casserole to be too thick in texture or you could run the risk of it not being fully cooked. So the best route when doubling is adding another pan and baking it that way.
You can also half the recipe and use an 8×8 size pan for a smaller portion if you need to.
How Long Can You Store Leftover Cinnamon Raisin Bread Casserole
You can store this leftover in the refrigerator for up to five days. It is best when served warm and fresh. But if you are looking for a quick reheat breakfast for the week this works too. Just warm it up in the microwave or opt to reheat covered in the oven.

Can I Make This Raisin Breakfast Casserole Ahead of Time
You can store this in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Then bake as directed below in the recipe. The one thing is if you are using a cold pan add a little bit extra time to the bake time to ensure it gets cooked through.
How to Know When the Cinnamon Raisin Breakfast Casserole is Done
You will find if you stick a toothpick or knife into the bread and pull it out it comes out clean. If you see a custardy egg mixture it is still raw and needs additional cook time.
The top of the bread will also turn a golden brown color, and harden up a bit. Some spots will be a little crisper than others but that adds a lot of texture and flavor to the recipe.
If you are looking for a brunch recipe, casserole for serving a crowd and more. We love making this even for a family breakfast during the week. Then eating the rest for leftovers.
