Instructions

Grease an 11” x 9” casserole dish. Stack the bread slices in a domino effect. Sprinkle the cranberries and pecans all over the bread.

Whisk together the egg, coconut milk, vanilla extract, and cinnamon in a large bowl. Pour the mixture slowly over the bread, being sure to cover all of the bread. Cover the casserole and chill overnight or until you are ready to bake.

Preheat the oven to 350°F and bake the casserole for 30 minutes or until the bread is somewhat spongey to the touch and there are some crispy edges. Serve with maple syrup and enjoy!

Substitutions: No egg bread: use your favourite loaf of bread. No coconut milk: use your favourite milk or dairy-free milk alternative, like cashew milk.
