Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly coat an 8x8-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
Cut the whole-grain bread slices into 1-inch cubes and place them in the prepared baking dish in an even layer.
Dice the peaches (fresh or canned, if using) into small pieces and scatter them over the bread cubes.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the eggs, unsweetened almond milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until fully combined.
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread and peaches, ensuring all pieces of bread are soaked in the mixture. Gently press down on the bread with a spatula to help it absorb the liquid.
Let the mixture rest for 10 minutes to allow the bread to fully soak in the liquid.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the custard is set (a knife inserted in the center should come out clean).
Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm as is, or top with a drizzle of additional maple syrup or a dollop of Greek yogurt for added creaminess.
