Ingredients

  • cooking spray

  • 1 loaf Texas toast

  • 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened

  • cup white sugar

  • 1 ½ cups mixed frozen berries, thawed and drained

  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

  • 1 ½ cups milk

  • ¾ cup maple syrup

  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

  1. Coat a 9x13-inch pan with cooking spray. Layer 1/2 of the bread in the pan.
