Baked Pumpkin French Toast Casserole
Description
The dish begins by whisking almond milk with pumpkin puree, coconut sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, pumpkin pie spice, ginger, and cinnamon to create a spiced custard. Brioche slices are cut into squares and combined gently with the custard, then refrigerated overnight to fully absorb the flavors and liquids. Baking at 350°F for about an hour sets the mixture into a moist, tender casserole with a light pumpkin aroma and spice warmth.
While baking, a maple cream cheese drizzle is prepared by whisking cream cheese with maple syrup, powdered sugar, almond milk, and vanilla extract. This glaze adds a smooth, sweet topping to complement the soft texture of the French toast casserole. The final dish can be served warm for breakfast or brunch with coffee or tea.
