Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf almond flour bread (sliced and cubed)
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 0.25 cup pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil (for greasing)
- 0.5 cup chopped pecans
- 1 cup fresh berries (as topping, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a medium-sized casserole dish with coconut oil.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, almond milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and sea salt until well combined.
Add the cubed almond flour bread into the egg mixture, stirring to thoroughly coat the bread pieces.
Let the bread soak for about 10 minutes to ensure it absorbs as much of the egg mixture as possible.
Pour the bread and egg mixture into the prepared casserole dish, spreading it evenly.
Sprinkle the chopped pecans evenly over the top of the casserole.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is set.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
Optionally, top with fresh berries before serving for added flavor and color.
