This irresistible pumpkin French toast recipe combines the warm, comforting flavors of pumpkin puree, cinnamon, and nutmeg with golden, buttery slices of bread for the ultimate fall breakfast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 cup milk (whole milk or dairy-free alternative)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 8 slices thick bread (brioche, challah, or Texas toast)
  • Butter for greasing the pan
  • Maple syrup for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, milk, eggs, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and pumpkin pie spice until smooth.
  2. Pour the mixture into a shallow dish for easy dipping.
  3. Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a small pat of butter. Let it melt and coat the surface evenly.
  4. Dip each slice of bread into the pumpkin mixture, ensuring both sides are well-coated. Let excess mixture drip off to avoid soggy toast.
  5. Place the coated bread slices onto the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and slightly crispy.
  6. Repeat with remaining bread slices, adding more butter to the skillet as needed.
  7. Serve hot with a drizzle of maple syrup, a dollop of whipped cream, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar.

Notes

[‘Use thick bread like brioche, challah, or Texas toast for best results.’, ‘Avoid oversoaking the bread to prevent sogginess.’, ‘Prepare the pumpkin mixture the night before for a quicker morning prep.’, ‘Customize spice levels by adding extra cinnamon or nutmeg.’]
