Ingredients

  • 1 loaf challah bread
  • 8 eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups milk
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 2 tbsp vanilla
  • 1 tbsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/4 cup carrot grated
  • 1/4 cup shredded coconut
  • 1/4 cup walnuts or pecans chopped
  • 1/4 cup raisins
  • For cream cheese frosting:
  • 4 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar

Instructions

  • Cube bread into bite sized pieces. Add to a greased 9x13 inch baking dish in an even layer.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla, maple syrup, cinnamon and nutmeg. Mix in carrots, coconut, nuts and raisins.
  • Pour over cubed bread. Press bread down so all pieces are submerged in egg mixture. Let sit 1 hour or covered in the fridge overnight.
  • When ready, bake at 350 for 45-50 minutes.
