Ingredients
Scale
Bread
- 6 slices of bread, cut into sticks
Pumpkin Mixture
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
- 1 tbsp sugar or sweetener (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Pumpkin Mixture: In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, pumpkin puree, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and sugar until well blended and smooth.
- Dip the Bread: Cut the bread into sticks about 1 inch wide. Dip each bread stick into the pumpkin mixture, ensuring all sides are coated but not overly soaked to avoid sogginess.
- Cook the Sticks: Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it. Place the dipped bread sticks on the skillet and cook until golden brown on each side, about 2-3 minutes per side. Alternatively, arrange soaked sticks on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 10-12 minutes or until golden and slightly crispy.
- Serve Warm: Remove the French toast sticks from the heat and serve immediately with syrup, powdered sugar, or your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
- Use day-old bread for best texture to help soak up the egg mixture without falling apart.
- Adjust the cinnamon and sugar to your taste preference or try adding nutmeg for extra warmth.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute milk with almond or oat milk.
- Storing leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days is recommended; reheat in the oven or toaster oven to restore crispiness.
