Ingredients

Scale

Egg Mixture

  • 3 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 1 tablespoon light brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

Other

  • Butter, for griddle or pan
  • 10 slices brioche bread (or your favorite bread)
  • Maple syrup, for serving
  • Butter, for serving
  • Powdered sugar, for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat Griddle: Preheat an electric griddle to medium heat and set it aside. If you don’t have an electric griddle, a non-stick skillet over medium heat works well.
  2. Prepare Egg Mixture: In a 9×13 pan or a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, pumpkin puree, light brown sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice until fully combined.
  3. Butter the Griddle: Lightly butter the surface of the preheated griddle or skillet to prevent sticking and add flavor to the toast.
  4. Dip Bread: Dip each slice of brioche bread into the egg and pumpkin mixture, coating both sides well and allowing the bread to soak up the mixture.
  5. Cook the French Toast: Place the coated bread slices carefully onto the griddle. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until each side is golden brown and slightly crisp. Repeat with all the slices until the egg mixture is used up.
  6. Serve: Serve the Pumpkin French Toast warm, topped with maple syrup, additional butter, and a dusting of powdered sugar if desired.

Notes

  • Using a 9×13 pan to whisk the egg mixture is easier and creates less mess than a smaller bowl.
  • If you don’t have an electric griddle, you can cook the French toast in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
  • French toast is best enjoyed fresh on the day it’s made but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 2 months.
  • To reheat, use a toaster, microwave, or oven to warm the slices before serving.
  • Brioche bread is recommended for a rich, buttery flavor, but you can use your preferred bread.
