Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the non-dairy milk, flaxseed meal, maple syrup, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Whisk thoroughly until smooth.
- Cut the bread into cubes and gently fold it into the wet mixture until each piece is well-coated.
- Add the blueberries, carefully stirring to avoid breaking them.
Cooking
- Transfer the mixture into a greased baking dish, ensuring an even layer.
- Bake for about 30-40 minutes, or until the top is golden and the casserole is set.

Notes
Ensure the bread is slightly stale for better absorption of the custard mixture. You can prepare the casserole the night before and refrigerate it to allow the flavors to meld overnight. Experiment with different fruits to vary the flavor profile.
