Ingredients

  • 1 whole-wheat baguette, torn into 1-inch pieces
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 cup sugar
  • ¾ cup maple syrup, divided
  • ⅓ cup sour cream
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 teaspoon maple flavoring
  • 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 cup pecan halves, toasted
  • Whipped cream, optional

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Generously butter an 8-by-8-inch baking dish and layer bread pieces evenly in dish.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, sugar, ¼ cup maple syrup, sour cream, pumpkin, maple flavoring and nutmeg. Once combined, pour evenly over the bread pieces. Allow to rest for about 10 minutes so the bread can absorb the pumpkin mixture.
  3. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes. Top with toasted pecans and serve warm with remaining maple syrup and whipped cream, if desired.
