- Spray a 13 x 9-inch baking dish with gluten-free cooking spray.
Bottom layer
- In a small bowl mix together 1/2 cup of brown sugar, 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Sprinkle the brown sugar mixture on the bottom of the 9x13 pan. Add the toasted bread pieces over the top of the brown sugar mixture.
- In a large measuring cup or medium-sized bowl whisk together the eggs, milk, granulated sugar, pure vanilla extract, and pumpkin pie spice until well blended. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread pieces.
Crumb Topping
- In a small bowl add the gluten-free flour, brown sugar, salt, pumpkin pie spice, chopped pecans, and melted butter and mix until crumbly. Sprinkle the crumb mixture evenly over the top of the casserole.
- Bake for 1 hour on the middle rack.
Glaze
- Mix all of the ingredients of the glaze together in a small bowl until it's nice and smooth. Allow the casserole to cool a few minutes before drizzling glaze on it and serving. Enjoy!
- Cover or store left-overs in an air-tight container and refrigerate. Reheat the casserole in the microwave or oven. This breakfast casserole is even good cold.
- This casserole can be made ahead (even overnight) of time and refrigerated before baking, but do not add the crumb topping until right before baking.
