Notes
Nutritional values may vary and are meant to be a guide.
You can skip the icing step and use traditional syrup. I would also suggest adding 1/4 cup of sugar to the custard batter.
Whole milk can be substituted for the almond milk.
Any type of thick bread can be used, but for this recipe, 1 pound of bread is required. If you use traditional white style bread, increase the cinnamon to 1 tablespoon.
