Instructions

1.	Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with cooking spray.
2.	In a medium bowl, whisk together the melted soy margarine, vanilla-flavored soymilk, light corn syrup, cinnamon, salt, and dark molasses until well combined.
3.	Spread the bread cubes evenly in the baking dish. Pour the liquid mixture over the bread, making sure that each piece is coated.
4.	Sprinkle the remaining cinnamon over the top of the bread mixture.
5.	Cover the dish with foil and bake for 45 minutes.
6.	Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and crispy.

HEALTH & BENEFITS

The use of soy milk also provides additional nutrients such as calcium, vitamin D, and vitamin B12, which are often lacking in a dairy-free diet.
