Ingredients:

  • 6 Weet-Bix™, roughly crushed

  • 4 hot cross buns, packaged or homemade

  • 8 large eggs

  • 3/4 cup SoGood UnsweetenedSoy or Almond Milk

  • 1 tsp cinnamon

  • 1/2 cup chopped raw pecans (60 g)

  3. Whisk eggs, milk, cinnamon, and 1 tbs syrup in a large jug. Slowly pour egg mixture over the buns and Weet-Bix. Sprinkle over blueberries, then allow to sit for 5 - 10 minutes, until most of the liquid has been absorbed.
  4. Toss chopped nuts in remaining 1 Tbsp maple syrup, and scatter over the bake.
  5. Loosely cover dish with foil and bake 55 - 60 minutes. Remove foil and bake a further 5 mins, until golden on top and firm in the centre. Cool on a rack at least 15 minutes before cutting. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips:

Blueberries can be replaced with raspberries, diced strawberries, or sliced banana.
