2 tablespoons vanilla extract
1 tablespoon dark brown sugar
8 slices French bread
¼ cup butter, or more as needed
¾ cup brown sugar
½ cup maple syrup
¾ cup chopped pecans
2 tablespoons confectioners sugar, or more to taste

Steps:

Mix half-and-half, eggs, vanilla, and 1 tablespoon dark brown sugar together in a large shallow bowl; add French bread. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate 8 hours to overnight.
