Ingrediente

6 large eggs

2 cups milk of choice (we used 2% dairy)

2 tablespoons pure maple syrup

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1½ teaspoons ground cinnamon, divided

Pinch of ground nutmeg

6 cups bread cubes (use gluten-free if needed)

Instrucțiuni

Mist the bottom and sides (about 3 inches up from the bottom) of the slow cooker with cooking spray or grease with butter.

In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, maple syrup, vanilla, 1 teaspoon of the cinnamon, and the nutmeg.

Fold in the bread cubes and allow mixture to rest 5-10 minutes to soften. Sprinkle with sugar and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon.

Slowly pour the mixture into slow cooker, cover with the lid, and cook on HIGH for 2 hours or on LOW for 4 hours or until cooked through.

Serve with desired toppings, such as berry sauce (see recipe below), fresh berries, maple syrup, yogurt, powdered sugar, cinnamon-sugar, or whipped cream.

To Make The Berry Sauce (Optional Topping):

Place a medium saucepan with lid over medium heat. Add frozen berries and maple syrup to the saucepan. Stir and place lid on saucepan. Cook for 7-8 minutes.

Remove lid from saucepan, stir berries. Adjust heat to maintain a steady simmer. Replace lid and cook another 7 minutes.

Remove lid, mash berries with the back of a large spoon or potato masher. Cook an additional 15-20 minutes uncovered at a steady simmer until sauce starts to thicken.

Remove sauce from heat, stir in vanilla and a pinch of salt. Allow sauce to cool before storing in a covered container in the fridge. Use within 1-2 weeks.
