The perfect (easy) Fall breakfast! This Crockpot French Toast Casserole is bursting with all of your favorite flavors of the season!
The Ultimate Slow Cooker Fall French Toast Casserole
It doesn’t get any easier – or more delicious – than this!
French toast is one of my absolute favorite breakfast dishes, and this Fall French Toast Casserole takes it to the next level!
Last year we made Pumpkin French Toast Sticks and Crock Pot Bread Pudding — this Fall French Toast Casserole is a crave-worthy combination of the two! It’s the best of both!
Instead of just one (or two) slices of French toast, there are layers upon layers of bread and custard amazing-ness! Since it’s fall, we’ve incorporated two of our favorite flavors of the season: pumpkin and maple. Then we top it all off with homemade caramel sauce.
Sounds out-of-this-world doesn’t it??
Thought so! Let’s make it!

I love this recipe because it is so easy! There’s minimal prep, and then you can simply set it and forget it until the slow cooker finishes its magic.
The amount of bread used doesn’t have to be exact – a standard large loaf of French bread will work. This is about how large you’ll want to cut the chunks of bread:
When you’re ready to make your bread pudding, coat the inside of slow cooker with non-stick spray. Pour your bread and any remaining liquid (that hasn’t been soaked up by bread) into the crockpot.
Cook on low for 4 hours and 30 minutes. If you’re in a hurry, you can cook on high for half that time, but keep an eye on it.
TIP: If you prefer, you can prepare the Fall French Toast Casserole mixture in the slow cooker dish itself and refrigerate, that way all you’ll have to do in the morning is pop it into the slow cooker and turn it on.
When your crock pot French toast is almost finished cooking, prepare the caramel sauce. That way your caramel will still be nice and warm when you’re serving your Fall French Toast Casserole.
To make the caramel sauce:
Bring all ingredients except evaporated milk and vanilla to a boil. Reduce for 5 minute, stirring regularly.
Remove from heat and add evaporated milk and vanilla, whisking until smooth. Pour over your casserole and enjoy!
