The swap

GF bread. Slightly stale bread works best, because GF bread soaks up custard better once it dries out a little.

Ingredients

1 loaf gluten-free bread (about 14 ounces), cut into 1-inch cubes
8 large eggs
2 1/2 cups milk
1/3 cup maple syrup, plus more for serving
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
Topping: 1/3 cup brown sugar, 3 tablespoons cold butter cut small, 1/2 cup chopped pecans (optional)

Every packaged ingredient marked GF label often hides gluten. Buy one labeled gluten-free.

Steps

Grease a 9x13 baking dish and spread the bread cubes in it.
Whisk the eggs, milk, syrup, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt. Pour evenly over the bread and press down so every piece soaks. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
Heat oven to 350°F. Rub the topping ingredients together with your fingers and scatter on top.
Bake uncovered 45 to 50 minutes, until puffed and set in the middle. Rest 10 minutes.
