Here are the Main Ingredients you will Need:
Step-by-Step Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Spray a casserole dish (9×13 inches) with cooking spray. Add the cubed Little Big Bread evenly across the dish.
In a large bowl, mix together the dry ingredients: vanilla protein powder, Swerve brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, and baking powder.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry mixture: egg whites, whole eggs (whisk in a small bowl prior to adding), cashew milk, pumpkin purée, sugar-free maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir until well combined.
Pour the mixture over the cubed bread in the casserole dish, ensuring the bread is fully coated. Press down gently with a spatula if needed to soak the bread evenly.
Sprinkle the chopped pecans evenly over the top of the bread mixture.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the French toast is set and golden brown on top.
For extra sweetness, top with additional sugar-free maple syrup and sugar-free powdered sugar before serving, if desired.
Enjoy your Pumpkin Spice French Toast warm, either on its own or with your favorite toppings.
Recipe Notes/Modifications:
- I love these baking dishes from amazon as they come with a lid and make storage easy!
- I recommend the brand Pescience Select one for protein powder, for this recipe use the Vanilla Gourmet flavour!
- The brand of maple syrup I use is Steve Maple Sugar Free Syrup. It tastes amazing!
- Little big bread can be purchased at most grocery stores like Walmart, Superstore, Costco, or Save on Foods. If you use a different option, please know macros will differ.
