Calories: 309kcal
Ingredients
- 7 slices of sourdough, French, or Italian day-old bread, torn into small chunks
- 2 cups of plant-based milk
- ¾ cup of applesauce
- ⅓ cup of sugar
- 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- ½ cup raisins
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Add the bread chunks to an 8-inch square baking pan.
- In a medium bowl, mix the plant-based milk, apple sauce, sugar, cinnamon, vanilla, and raisins. Mix well until the sugar is mostly dissolved.
- Pour the mixture over the bread, and lightly push down with a spatula until all the bread is covered by the plant milk mixture. Allow it to sit soaking up the mixture until the oven is ready.
- Bake for 45 minutes or until the top is slightly toasted.
- Remove from the oven and allow it to cool down and set for 1 hour before enjoying.
Notes
- Use the right bread: It’s important to use day-old, sturdy bread like French bread, sourdough, etc., as they’ll soak up the ‘custard’ without becoming mushy.
- Use even-sized bread pieces: So they soak and bake evenly.
- Adjust sweetness: To your desired level.
- Be careful not to overbake: Otherwise, it can end up dry. If it looks a little dry mid-bake, cover the baking dish in foil.
