This Pumpkin French Toast recipe offers a delightful twist on the classic breakfast favorite by incorporating rich pumpkin puree and warm spices, resulting in a flavorful and comforting meal perfect for fall or any cozy morning.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Pumpkin French Toast Batter

  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk (whole or 2%)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar (optional)
  • Pinch of salt

For Assembly

  • 8 slices of bread (preferably thick-cut, such as brioche or challah)
  • Butter or oil for cooking

Instructions

  1. Prepare the batter: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, eggs, milk, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla extract, brown sugar, and salt until smooth and fully combined.
  2. Preheat the skillet: Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a small amount of butter or oil to coat the surface.
  3. Dip the bread slices: One at a time, soak each slice of bread in the pumpkin batter, allowing it to soak for about 10 seconds on each side to absorb the mixture without becoming too soggy.
  4. Cook the French toast: Place the coated bread slices onto the preheated skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Adjust the heat as necessary to prevent burning.
  5. Serve warm: Remove the French toast from the skillet and serve immediately with your choice of toppings such as maple syrup, powdered sugar, fresh fruit, or whipped cream.

Notes

  • Use thick slices of bread like brioche, challah, or Texas toast for best results.
  • Ensure the skillet is preheated properly to get a nice golden crust.
  • You can add a pinch of ground ginger or cloves to the batter for extra warmth.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute milk with almond or oat milk and use a vegan butter alternative.
  • Leftover French toast can be refrigerated and reheated in a toaster or oven.
