- 2 cups plant-based milk (oat, almond, or soy)
- 1/2 cup coconut milk or cream
- 1/2 cup brown sugar or maple syrup
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup raisins or dried fruit (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F) and lightly grease a baking dish.
- Add cubed bread to the dish and spread evenly. Sprinkle raisins or dried fruit if using.
- In a bowl, whisk together plant-based milk, coconut milk, sugar or maple syrup, cornstarch, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until smooth.
- Pour the mixture over the bread, pressing gently so the bread absorbs the liquid. Let sit for 10–15 minutes.
- Bake for 35–45 minutes, until the top is golden and the center is set.
- Let cool slightly before serving. Serve warm with optional toppings.
Notes
Slightly stale bread absorbs the custard best.Cover with foil while reheating to prevent drying out.Add chocolate chips or nuts for extra texture and flavor.
