Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees with rack set in center of oven. Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking dish; set aside.

In a small bowl, mix together almonds, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter; set aside. Arrange bread slices in an even layer in prepared baking dish; set aside.

In a large bowl, whisk together almond milk, eggs, vanilla, salt, and remaining 2 tablespoons sugar. Pour over bread and let stand 5 minutes. Carefully drain custard from baking dish and pour over bread a second time, tilting baking dish to evenly distribute; let stand 5 minutes. Custard should be almost completely absorbed. Sprinkle evenly with almond mixture.

Cover baking dish with parchment paper-lined foil and transfer to oven; bake for 20 minutes. Uncover and continue baking until slightly puffed and golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes more. Serve immediately with maple syrup, powdered sugar, and raspberries.
