- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup real maple syrup
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar (for dusting)

Instructions
- Cut the brioche into one-inch cubes and layer them in a greased baking dish.

- Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread cubes, gently pressing to ensure all pieces are soaked.
