Ingredients
  

  • 1 small loaf whole grain crusty bread or ~12 slices whole grain sandwich bread
  • 6 eggs
  • 1/4 cup plant-based Greek yogurt optional
  • 1 1/4 cups plant-based high-protein milk I used flax milk
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp nutmeg or cardamom or allspice
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup plus extra for serving
  • 1/4 cup crushed walnuts optional

Method
 

  1. Chop bread into 1 1/2-inch cubes and add to a greased 8x8 baking dish.
  2. Blend remaining ingredients (except walnuts) until smooth.
  3. Pour the custard over the bread chunks and mix gently to coat. Sprinkle with walnuts if using.
  4. Cover and let soak at least 1 hour or up to overnight.

  6. Cool slightly and serve with maple syrup and extra plant-based yogurt for more protein.
