   2                     egg whites -- plus
   2                     egg yolks -- reserved for crème
      1/2           cup  maple sugar flakes
   4            packets  stevia
   15            ounces  solid pumpkin -- canned,  or cooked and puréed pumpkin
   1 1/2           cups  unsweetened almond milk
   1           teaspoon  vanilla extract -- pure
      3/4      teaspoon  ground cinnamon
      1/4      teaspoon  ground nutmeg
      1/4      teaspoon  ground cloves
      1/4      teaspoon  ground ginger
   5               cups  cubed whole-wheat, day-old bakery bread -- (1" cubes)
      1/2           cup  cranberries -- fresh or frozen, if frozen thaw
                         CRÃ?ME:
      1/4           cup  maple sugar flakes
   1                cup  unsweetened almond milk
   1           teaspoon  arrowroot powder
      1/2      teaspoon  vanilla extract -- pure

Lightly mist an 8 x 8" baking dish with cooking spray. In a large 
bowl, whisk eggs, egg whites, 1/2 cup maple sugar flakes, stevia, 
pumpkin, 1 1/2 cups milk, 1 tsp vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and 
ginger. With a rubber spatula, fold in bread and cranberries. Spoon 
mixture into baking dish, smooth top with spatula and cover with 
plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 1 hour.

Meanwhile, prepare crème: In a medium heatproof bowl, whisk reserved 
2 yolks and 1/4 cup maple sugar flakes. In a small saucepan, heat 1 
cup milk on medium until bubbling around the edges. Remove from heat 
and slowly whisk 1/3 cup milk into yolk mixture. Return saucepan to 
medium heat. Whisk arrowroot into yolk-milk mixture and add to 
saucepan. Cook, stirring often, for 3 to 5 minutes, until slightly 
thickened; do not boil. Remove from heat, whisk in 1/4 tsp vanilla 
and transfer to a small bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate 
until needed (no more than 6 hours)

Preheat oven to 350F. Remove plastic wrap from baking dish. Bake 
bread mixture for 40 to 50 minutes, until custard sets. Remove from 
oven and let cool for 10 minutes. Slice into rectangles and drizzle 
each serving with crème, dividing evenly.

NOTE:
Opting for day-old unsliced bakery bread allows your pudding to hold 
its shape when cooked, as it tends to be firmer. In a pinch, 
pre-sliced bread will do.
