Praline Pecan French Toast Bake

Instructions

1. The day before slice bread into ½-inch slices and leave them out, uncovered, so they have time to dry out a bit (this will help the bread soak up the delicious custard).
2. The next morning, preheat oven to 350°F (177°C) . Spray a 9×13 casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray.
3. In a large bowl, beat eggs with a fork. Add in almond milk, Splenda Granulated Sweetener, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and almond extract, whisking until fully combined. Piece by piece, submerge each slice of bread fully in the custard mixture. Then place each slice of bread in the baking dish, slanted so they are leaning against each other in two rows. Pour any leftover custard mixture all over the bread slices.
4. In a small bowl, mix all of the topping ingredients, making sure to coat the pecans completely. Sprinkle pecan mixture on top of each bread slice, letting some fall in-between each slice.
5. Bake covered for 35 minutes, then uncovered for another 20 minutes. Check to make sure it’s fully cooked in the middle.
6. Remove and serve with a sugar-free maple syrup. Enjoy!
