This decadent, dairy-free pumpkin pie bread pudding is rich with fall flavors. It’s filled with pumpkin, vanilla, and pumpkin pie spice and spiked with complimentary coconut and pecans. In fact, it’s made with rich coconut milk instead of butter or any dairy alternatives! The warm spiced maple syrup is optional for serving, but highly recommended.
