Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 4 eggs (lightly beaten)
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup 100% pure pumpkin puree
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • pinch kosher salt

Bread & Cooking

  • 10 slices thick sliced wheat or white bread
  • 4 tablespoons butter for griddle (divided)

For Serving

  • Pure maple syrup

Instructions

  1. Preheat griddle: Heat a non-stick griddle to 325 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for cooking the French toast evenly without sticking.
  2. Mix egg batter: In a large bowl or shallow dish, whisk together the beaten eggs, milk, pumpkin puree, brown sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, and a pinch of kosher salt until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  3. Prepare griddle and dip bread: Melt 1 to 2 tablespoons of butter on the hot griddle. Dip each slice of bread into the pumpkin egg mixture, allowing it to soak up the batter but then gently shake off excess before placing on the griddle.
  4. Cook the French toast: Cook the soaked bread slices on the griddle until they are puffed, lightly browned, and cooked through, about 2-3 minutes per side. Add more butter as needed when flipping batches.
  5. Serve warm: Serve the pumpkin French toast immediately, topped with additional butter and warm pure maple syrup for a deliciously spiced and sweet breakfast.

Notes

  • Use thick sliced bread to prevent sogginess and ensure a fluffy texture inside.
  • Adjust spices to taste; more cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice can be added for extra warmth.
  • For a dairy-free option, substitute milk and butter with plant-based alternatives.
  • Leftover French toast can be refrigerated and reheated in a toaster or oven.
  • Maple syrup complements the pumpkin flavor perfectly but honey or fruit compote can also be used.
