Ingredients
  

For the French Toast
  • 4 slices slices of bread Use thick-cut bread like brioche or challah for best results.
  • 1 cup milk Can substitute with almond milk or any milk alternative for a dairy-free option.
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree Use canned or homemade pumpkin puree.
  • 2 large eggs For a vegan option, replace with flax eggs.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice Add a pinch of nutmeg or cinnamon for extra flavor.
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • Butter for cooking Just enough to coat the skillet.
  • Maple syrup and toppings (optional) Serve with your favorite toppings like nuts or whipped cream.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Whisk together the milk, pumpkin puree, eggs, vanilla extract, pumpkin pie spice, and sugar in a bowl until well combined.
  2. Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a little butter to coat.
  3. Dip each slice of bread into the pumpkin mixture, making sure to soak it for a few seconds.
  4. Place the soaked bread on the skillet. Cook until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.
  5. Serve warm with maple syrup and your favorite toppings.

Notes

Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for about 3-4 days or frozen for up to a month—layer slices with parchment paper before freezing. Reheat in a toaster or skillet for best results.
