- 6 eggs
- ½ cup pure maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 16 oz 1 loaf pumpkin brioche bread, cut into 1-inch cubes

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 475°F and grease a 9×13-inch pan with butter or non-stick spray.
- In a large bowl, whisk together oat milk, eggs, maple syrup, vanilla bean paste, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice. Set aside.
- Cut the pumpkin brioche bread into 1-inch cubes and place them in the greased pan.
- Pour the milk mixture over the bread cubes, ensuring each piece is coated. Use a spoon to gently mix.
