You could probably call this a bread pudding, but I'm sticking with "French Toast Casserole" because I have a bad relationship with bread puddings.
The Ingredients:
1 loaf crusty Italian or French bread (slightly stale is best)
2 apples, chopped
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
2 1/2 c soy milk
1 c soy creamer
1/2 c maple syrup
1/3 c flour
1/4 c cornstarch
2 T nutritional yeast
1 T cinnamon
2 t vanilla
The Process:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Cut bread into 1-inch pieces.
- Blend or whisk together soy milk, soy creamer, flour, cornstarch, maple syrup, nutritional yeast, cinnamon, and vanilla until smooth.
- In a well-oiled casserole dish, toss together bread, apples, raisins, and walnuts.
- Pour batter over bread.
- Bake covered for 20 minutes, then uncover and bake until bread is light golden, about 25 more minutes. Serve hot.
I'm loving cinnamon week. More than that though, I'm loving anything that gives me a steer on how to use up spare bread that doens't involve it turning it into breadcrumbs and keeping it for a millenium or two...
