Creating Vegan Bread Pudding can be an enjoyable process if you follow these simple steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish or casserole dish.
2. Prepare the Bread: In a large bowl, combine the cubed stale bread with the raisins and nuts, if using. Set aside.
3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the almond milk, coconut cream, maple syrup, brown sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until well combined.
4. Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet mixture over the cubed bread, ensuring all pieces are soaked evenly. Let it sit for about 15 minutes to absorb the liquid.
5. Transfer to Baking Dish: Once the bread has soaked, pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
6. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the pudding is set.
7. Cool: Remove from the oven and let it cool for about 10-15 minutes before serving. This cooling time helps the pudding firm up slightly.
8. Serve: Cut into squares and serve warm, drizzled with extra maple syrup or topped with vegan whipped cream if desired.

These steps will guide you in creating this amazing Vegan Bread Pudding effortlessly, ensuring a delicious dessert that everyone will love.
