Ingredients

1 16 ounce (450 g) loaf of French bread, sourdough bread, or challah (day old bread works best), cut into 1-inch cubes with the ends discarded

1/2 cup cream cheese, softened (optional - leave out if preferred)

1 1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries (unthawed), divided

6 large eggs

1 1/2 cups milk (I used almond milk)

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/3 cup maple syrup or honey

2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

Streusel topping

1/3 cup all-purpose flour

1/3 cup packed brown sugar (or coconut sugar)

1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cubed (or solid coconut oil)

Blueberry Syrup

1 cup granulated sugar (coconut sugar or 1/2 cup maple syrup works as well)

2 tablespoons corn starch

1 cup water

1 cup fresh blueberries or 2 cups frozen blueberries (unthawed)

1 tablespoon butter (or coconut oil)

Optional toppings: fresh blueberries, fresh fruit, whipped cream, maple syrup and/or powdered sugar

Instructions

Make the streusel topping: In a medium bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon together. Cut in the cubed butter with a pastry blender or two forks. Set aside in the fridge.
Lightly grease a 9x9-inch square baking dish or 2.5 quart casserole dish.
Arrange half of the bread cubes in the bottom of the pan. Drop spoonfuls of the softened cream cheese over the bread and top with 1 cup of the blueberries.
Top with remaining bread cubes.
In a large bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the eggs, milk, cinnamon, maple syrup, and vanilla.
Pour evenly over bread cubes. Press the bread cubes slightly down to absorb the milk/egg mixture.
Top evenly with the remaining blueberries. Sprinkle the streusel topping over top. Cover pan with foil. Allow to chill in refrigerator for an hour or overnight.
When ready to bake, remove french toast from fridge. Preheat oven to 350 F. Bake covered with foil for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 22-25 minutes or until fluffy and golden.
Remove from oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes. Top with syrup and additional toppings if desired. Serve warm.
Meanwhile, make the blueberry syrup. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, cook water, sugar, and cornstarch until thickened. Stir in blueberries and simmer for 10 minutes. Add butter and stir until melted. Pour over baked french toast and top with additional toppings if desired. Best if served warm.
