Ingredients
Method
- Grease your baking dish generously with vegan butter — treat it like self-care.
- Arrange the bread cubes evenly in the dish, because chaos belongs in your inbox, not your breakfast.
- In a bowl, whisk together plant milk, coconut cream, maple syrup, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
- Pour the mixture over the bread, making sure every cube feels loved.
- Press down lightly so the bread absorbs the mixture like your skin after a night serum.
- Cover and refrigerate overnight — yes, beauty sleep applies to casseroles too.
- Next morning, preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).
- Drizzle melted vegan butter on top and sprinkle extra cinnamon or nuts if you’re feeling fancy.
- Bake uncovered for 40 minutes, until golden and slightly crisp on top.
- Let it cool for 5 minutes, serve warm, and watch everyone think you’re a morning person.
