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)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with the vegan butter.

Step 3

Slice the loaf of stale French bread into 1-inch thick slices. Arrange the slices in the prepared baking dish, overlapping slightly if necessary.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Cover the dish with aluminum foil and let it sit for at least 10 minutes to allow the bread to soak up the mixture.

Step 7

After the soaking period, place the covered dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes.

Step 8

Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 15 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and slightly crispy.

Step 9

Remove from oven and let it sit for 5 minutes before slicing.

Step 10

Dust with powdered sugar and top with fresh berries (if using) before serving.
