- When selecting the French bread, look for a loaf with a sturdy texture so it will hold up in the casserole.
- For the best flavor, use dark brown sugar instead of light brown sugar.
- Substitute coconut oil for butter: Coconut oil is a healthier alternative to butter, as it is a plant-based oil that is high in healthy fatty acids. It can also impart a subtle coconut flavor to the dish, which can enhance the flavors of the rum and vanilla.
- Substitute maple syrup for corn syrup: Maple syrup is a natural sweetener that can be used in place of corn syrup. It will give the dish a unique flavor, and is a healthier alternative to corn syrup.
