Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf French bread
- 2 cups Almond milk
- 4 large Eggs
- 0.25 cup Maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with 1 tablespoon of coconut oil.
Slice the French bread into thick slices, about 1 inch thick each, and arrange them in the prepared baking dish.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond milk, eggs, maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until well combined.
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread slices, ensuring all pieces are soaked in the mixture.
Cover the baking dish with aluminium foil and let it sit for about 10 minutes to allow the bread to absorb the liquids.
Before baking, melt the remaining tablespoon of coconut oil and drizzle it over the top of the bread.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes with the foil on, then remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the custard is set.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
Serve with additional maple syrup and fresh fruit if desired.
