Ingredients

Scale

French Toast Base

  • 4 slices of thick bread (like brioche or challah)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk (or a non-dairy alternative)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Butter or oil for cooking

Pumpkin Mixture

  • 1 cup pumpkin puree (canned or homemade)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar (optional, for sweetness)

For Serving

  • Maple syrup
  • Powdered sugar, for garnish (optional)
  • Chopped pecans or walnuts (optional, for topping)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pumpkin Mixture: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, salt, and brown sugar until smooth and well combined. This flavorful custard will soak into the bread, giving it that perfect pumpkin spice flavor.
  2. Soak the Bread: Dip each slice of thick bread into the pumpkin mixture, allowing it to soak up the liquid fully but not so long that it becomes soggy. Ensure both sides are well coated for even cooking and flavor.
  3. Cook the French Toast: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a small amount of butter or oil. Place the soaked bread slices onto the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  4. Serve: Remove the French toast from the skillet and serve immediately. Top with maple syrup, a dusting of powdered sugar, and chopped nuts if desired for added texture and flavor.

Notes

  • For a dairy-free option, use almond, soy, or oat milk.
  • Fresh pumpkin puree can be substituted for canned but may alter consistency slightly.
  • Adjust spices to your preference—add more cinnamon or nutmeg for a spicier toast.
  • Use thick slices of bread like brioche or challah to prevent sogginess.
  • Optional toppings like whipped cream or fresh fruit pair well with this recipe.
