Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 8 cups cubed day-old bread (about 1 large loaf)
  • 1 ½ cups unsweetened oat milk
  • ¼ cup chickpea flour
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • ¼ cup pure maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 2 tablespoons melted vegan butter, plus more for greasing
  • For serving: powdered sugar, fresh berries, extra maple syrup

Method
 

  1. Cut day-old bread into 1-inch cubes to yield 8 cups. If bread is fresh, toast the cubes at 300°F for 10 minutes to dry them out.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk the oat milk, chickpea flour, cornstarch, maple syrup, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and melted vegan butter until smooth.
  3. Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish. Spread the bread cubes evenly, pour the custard over them, and press down gently. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
  4. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Remove foil and bake uncovered for 40 to 45 minutes, until puffed and golden with a set center.
  5. Cool for 5 minutes, then dust with powdered sugar and serve warm with berries and maple syrup.

Notes

Soaking time (at least 2 hours, or overnight) is not included in the prep time. For the best texture, use bread that is a day or two old.
