- 8 eggs
- 2 cups Vanilla Soymilk (or regular milk)
- ¾ cup Soy Creamer (or regular creamer)
- 1 cup Pumpkin Puree (not pumpkin pie filling)

- 2 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ cup chopped pecans optional
- ½ cup cold plant-based butter or coconut oil
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and spray a 9 x 13 baking dish with non-stick cooking spray. Transfer the chopped bread to the prepared baking pan and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl whisk together the eggs, Soymilk, Creamer, pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and pumpkin pie spice.
- Carefully pour the prepared egg mixture into the prepared baking pan, trying to cover as much of the bread as possible as you pour.
- Optional- cover the prepared baking dish with foil and refrigerate overnight or move onto the next step and bake immediately.
- Prepare the streusel- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Mix in the pecans, if using. Add the cold plant-based vegetable butter or coconut oil and gently use your fingertips to break apart into smaller pieces until a course, mealy mixture forms. Sprinkle over the top of the casserole.
- Bake the prepared pumpkin french toast bake in the center rack of your oven at 350 degrees for 40-50 minutes, or until the top is crispy and the center is no longer wet. If the top starts to brown, carefully tent with a large piece of foil.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy with a light sprinkling of powdered sugar or maple syrup, if desired. Enjoy!
