Description
A cozy and flavorful fall-inspired French toast recipe featuring pumpkin puree and warm pumpkin pie spice, perfect for a comforting breakfast or brunch.
Ingredients
For the Pumpkin French Toast:
- 6 slices bread
- 3 eggs
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
For Serving:
- Maple syrup, to serve
Instructions
- Prepare the batter: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Dip the bread: Dip each slice of bread into the pumpkin mixture, ensuring both sides are fully coated and soaked but not overly saturated to avoid sogginess.
- Cook the toast: Heat a skillet or non-stick pan over medium heat. Place the dipped bread slices onto the skillet and cook until golden brown on one side, about 3-4 minutes, then flip and cook the other side until equally golden and cooked through.
- Serve: Transfer the cooked pumpkin French toast to plates and serve warm with a generous drizzle of maple syrup.
Notes
- Use sturdy bread like brioche or challah for best results to avoid sogginess.
- Adjust the pumpkin pie spice based on your preference for spice intensity.
- For a richer flavor, substitute whole milk or add a tablespoon of cream.
- Serve immediately for optimal texture and warmth.
