Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 4 slices thick bread (brioche or challah)
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk (or non-dairy alternative)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar (optional, for sweetness)
  • Butter or oil for cooking
  • Maple syrup, for serving

Optional Toppings

  • Powdered sugar, for garnish
  • Chopped pecans or walnuts

Instructions

  1. Prepare the batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, eggs, milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, salt, and brown sugar until the mixture is smooth and evenly combined.
  2. Heat the skillet: Place a skillet over medium heat and add butter or oil, allowing it to melt and coat the surface to prevent sticking.
  3. Dip the bread: Take each slice of bread and soak it in the pumpkin batter for a few seconds on each side until fully coated but not overly soggy.
  4. Cook the French toast: Place the soaked bread slices on the heated skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side or until each side turns a golden brown and has a slightly crisp exterior.
  5. Serve and garnish: Stack the cooked French toast on plates, drizzle with maple syrup, and top with your choice of powdered sugar and chopped pecans or walnuts for added flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Use thick slices of bread like brioche or challah for the best texture and absorption.
  • For a dairy-free option, substitute milk with almond, soy, or oat milk and use a plant-based butter or oil for cooking.
  • Adjust the amount of brown sugar based on your preferred sweetness level.
  • Make sure the skillet is properly heated before cooking to achieve a nice golden crust.
  • Leftover pumpkin French toast can be stored in the refrigerator and reheated in a toaster or oven.
