Gluten-Free Raisin Bread Casserole

Ingredients:

• 12 slices gluten-free bread with raisins and cinnamon
• 1.5 cups cow's or plant-based milk
• 0.5 tbsp. maple sugar
• 1 tbsp vanilla extract
• 4 large eggs
• Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)
• Fresh berries, for serving

Preparation:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly spray or grease a 8-inch square baking pan with cooking spray.
2. Place the bread slices, slightly overlapping, in 2 rows in the prepared pan.
3. In a large bowl, combine milk, sugar, vanilla, and eggs. Pour evenly over the bread, pressing down on the slices to coat.
4. Place the baking pan inside the larger pan and add enough warm water to come halfway up the smaller pan. Bake until golden brown and the custard is set, about 50 minutes. Sprinkle with powdered sugar, if desired. Cut into 9 pieces and serve with berries.
