Vegan French Toast Casserole

In my family growing up, we always made delicious things for Easter brunch.  I like to still keep that tradition, and one of my favorite things to include is Vegan French Toast Casserole!  It is really easy to make and so delicious!  You would never guess it is vegan or contains no eggs or dairy since it tastes just like traditional french toast casserole!
