Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf Stale French bread
- 2 cups Almond milk
- 1 cup Unsweetened apple sauce
- 1 quarter cup Maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons Ground flaxseed
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Vegan butter
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 1 cup Fresh berries (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with the vegan butter.
Slice the loaf of stale French bread into 1-inch thick slices. Arrange the slices in the prepared baking dish, overlapping slightly if necessary.
In a large bowl, whisk together the almond milk, unsweetened apple sauce, maple syrup, ground flaxseed, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
Pour the almond milk mixture evenly over the sliced bread in the baking dish, ensuring all pieces are soaked well. Press down lightly on the bread with a spatula to help absorb the mixture.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and let it sit for at least 10 minutes to allow the bread to soak up the mixture.
After the soaking period, place the covered dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes.
Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 15 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and slightly crispy.
Remove from oven and let it sit for 5 minutes before slicing.
Dust with powdered sugar and top with fresh berries (if using) before serving.
