12 slices One Degree Organic Foods Lentil Grain Bread (or other One Degree bread)
3 medium bananas, mashed (about 1 1/4 cups), plus 1 banana for topping
1 1/2 cups almond milk or other non-dairy milk
1 cup canned coconut milk (light or full-fat)
1/2 cup flax meal
1 tablespoon tapioca starch or cornstarch
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon cinnamon
3/4 cup chocolate chips, plus more for topping
Instructions
Cut the bread into 1/2-inch cubes. In a large 9×13 baking dish, add bread.
In a large bowl, add mashed bananas, almond milk, coconut milk, flax meal, tapioca starch, vanilla, and cinnamon. Stir to combine. Set aside for 5 minutes to thicken. Add chocolate chips; stir.
Pour the liquid ingredients over the bread. Toss the bread around until all cubes are evenly coated. Press down gently to pack the bread in the pan.
Cover the pan with foil and place it in the fridge overnight, at least 6 hours.
Preheat the oven to 375F.
Remove foil; bake for 45 minutes, until the top is slightly browned and crispy. Let cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.
