– ½ cup maple syrup (for sauce)

Instructions
1-Preheat your oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9 x 13 pan to avoid any sticking issues.

4-Pour and press: Pour this egg mixture over the croissants and press down with a spatula to coat everything evenly.
5-Sprinkle sugar and bake: Sprinkle the dark brown sugar over the top for a caramelized finish. Bake for about 35 minutes or until the center is firm.
6-Prepare the syrup: While it bakes, melt the butter and mix it with the maple syrup; warm it again before serving.
7-Cut and serve: Once baked, cut into 12 pieces and drizzle with the warm syrup mixture, then top with fresh sliced bananas and raspberries.
