Instructions

1 Cube the bread and leave out overnight to get stale. When ready, coat a
9-by-13-inch glass baking dish with cooking spray and add the bread pieces.
2 Add the milk, pumpkin, sugar, eggs, pumpkin spice and vanilla to a large bowl
and whisk well. Pour over the bread pieces and cover with foil for 4 hours to
overnight to soak up the liquid.
3 Heat an oven to 350°F. when ready to bake. While the oven heats, make the crumb
topping, or, make it the night before and refrigerate.
4 Add the cold butter and cut with a pastry cutter or fork. Add the almond flour,
sugar, and pumpkin pie spice and mix well. Add pecans, if using. Sprinkle over
the casserole while the butter is still very cold. Bake for 20 minutes. Pull out
and cover with foil and bake for 30 additional minutes.
5 Remove from oven, cut into 10 squares, and top with syrup, if desired.
