Ingredients

  • 12 slices whole wheat or whole grain bread
  • 8 dried dates
  • 1 cup So Good Vanilla soy beverage 250 mL
  • 1. tsp ground cinnamon 7 mL
  • 3 large eggs
  • Plain Greek yogurt optional
  • Fresh berries optional

Instructions

  • Lightly oil or spray an 8x8-inch (20x20-cm) square baking pan and set aside. Cut crusts off of bread and set bread slices aside.
  • Remove pits from dates and discard. Coarsely chop dates then place into the bowl of a food processor or blender with So Good Vanilla and cinnamon. Pulse ingredients until mixture is smooth. Add eggs into mixture and pulse until well combined. Set aside.
  • Place 4 pieces of bread, making a square, to cover the bottom of the pan. If necessary, squish the bread a bit to fit the slices in. Pour about 1/3 of the So Good mixture onto the bread base, trying to evenly cover each slice. Repeat this process with the bread and the So Good mixture twice more, for a total of 3 layers. Use a spatula or the back of a spoon to evenly spread mixture over the top layer. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
  • To bake, remove pan from the fridge and set aside to come to room temperature. Heat oven to 350°F (180°C). Bake, uncovered, in preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, until golden and the bread starts to pull away from the edges. Allow to rest in the pan for 10 minutes.
  • Run a knife along the inside edge of the pan, then cut into the 4 sections. Using a spatula, remove each section to a cutting board. Cut each section into 4 even slices and serve 2 per person. Serve warm, at room temperature or chilled. If desired, sprinkle with additional cinnamon, and top with yogurt, and fresh berries.
