Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 slices thick bread (like brioche or challah) Use thick bread for the best texture.
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree (canned or homemade)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk (or a 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 Use as needed for cooking.
Toppings
  • Maple syrup, for serving
  • Powdered sugar, for garnish (optional)
  • Chopped pecans or walnuts (optional, for topping)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, eggs, and milk. Whisk until smooth.
  2. Add vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground ginger, salt, and brown sugar (if desired). Whisk again until well combined. Let the batter sit for a few minutes to blend the flavors.
Cooking
  1. Preheat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a tablespoon of butter or oil to coat the surface.
  2. Dip each slice of bread into the pumpkin batter, making sure they are fully coated. Let them soak for a few seconds on each side.
  3. Place the soaked bread slices onto the hot skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes on one side until golden brown, then flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes on the other side. Repeat with the remaining slices, adding more butter or oil as necessary.
  4. Stack two slices of French toast on a plate. Drizzle with maple syrup and sprinkle with powdered sugar if desired.
  5. Top with chopped pecans or walnuts for an extra crunch.
Serving
  1. Serve Pumpkin French Toast warm right off the skillet. Drizzle with maple syrup and sprinkle with powdered sugar for sweetness. Add nuts or whipped cream on top for extra flavor and texture.

Notes

If you have leftover pumpkin batter, store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Stir it before using again. Use thick bread for the best texture and don't rush the soaking process.
