Ingredients

• 6 cups Day-old bread (e.g., baguette, sourdough, or challah)
• 1.5 cups Full-fat coconut milk
• 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
• 0.5 cup Maple syrup
• 0.25 cup Brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Raisins (optional)
• 1 tablespoon Vegan butter (for greasing the dish)
• 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar (for garnish)
• 1 cup Fresh berries or vegan whipped cream (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x9-inch baking dish with vegan butter.

Step 2

Cut the day-old bread into 1-inch cubes and place them in a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, almond milk, maple syrup, brown sugar, cinnamon, vanilla extract, nutmeg, and salt until well blended.

Step 4

Pour the liquid mixture over the bread cubes. Gently press down the bread to ensure all pieces are soaked. Let it sit for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to evenly distribute the liquid.

Step 5

If using raisins, fold them into the bread mixture at this stage.

Step 6

Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish. Spread it out evenly, pressing down slightly to compact the bread.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and slightly crisp.

Step 8

Remove the bread pudding from the oven and let it cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.

Step 9

Dust the top with powdered sugar and optionally serve with fresh berries or vegan whipped cream for an extra treat.
