  • ½ teaspoon Cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Prepare a 9X13 baking dish with plant-based butter or spray with a non-stick spray. Set aside.

  3. If you do not have time to allow the bread to sit out overnight, chop the bread into 1-inch cubes and bake in the oven at 350° for 15-20 minutes. Allow to cool completely before coating with the custard.

  4. Next melt 2 Tablespoons plant-based butter and allow to cool, but not re-solidify before mixing into the custard.

  5. In a medium bowl stir together 3 eggs, ½ cup sugar, 3 cups non-dairy milk, 2 Tablespoons melted and cooled plant-based butter, 1 Tablespoon vanilla, and ½ teaspoon cinnamon.

  6. Pour the liquid mixture over 8 cups chopped bread cubes and let soak for 30 minutes to 1 hour.

  7. Preheat the oven to 350°F and bake the bread pudding for 50-60 minutes or until the center is set. Remove from oven and dust with powdered sugar.
