Instructions

Preheat oven to 350ºF and grease a 9×13 casserole dish with butter or coconut oil; set aside.
Slice bread into 1” thick slices, then slice again into about 1” cubes. Place in bottom of baking dish.
Prepare & Soak: In a large bowl whisk together eggs, egg whites, milk, coconut milk, sugar and vanilla extract. Pour over bread in baking dish, pressing bread down and making sure each piece is fully covered. Cover with lid or foil, and place in fridge for at least 2 hours, up to overnight.
Make topping: Once you’ve chilled the casserole, make the make the streusel topping: in a medium bowl, use fork to combine butter, brown sugar, oats, flour and ground cinnamon – use hands as needed to make sure the mixture is fully combined. Spread over top of baking dish, adding pecans if using, and press down gently.
Bake pumpkin french toast for 40 minutes uncovered, then cover with foil and bake for 10-15 minutes.
Allow casserole to cool slightly before topping with powdered sugar for extra presentation. Serve with maple syrup and enjoy!
