Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F just before baking.
Spray a 9 x 13 pan with non-stick spray and cube the bread, spreading it evenly in the pan.
In a large mixing bowl, combine milk, pumpkin puree, sugars, vanilla, pumpkin pie spice, and eggs, whisking until well mixed.
Pour the mixture over the cubed bread. Use a fork to gently press the bread down for maximum soaking.
Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 3 hours.
Prepare the streusel topping by blending cold, cubed butter, brown sugar, flour, and pumpkin pie spice in a food processor until crumbly.
Sprinkle the streusel evenly over the casserole. Add the chopped pecans if desired.
Bake for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Notes

For best flavor, refrigerate overnight before baking.
Feel free to add raisins or chocolate chips for an extra twist.
Sever with maple syrup for added sweetness.
