Ingredients
Scale
French Toast:
- 4 large eggs
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1/2 cup canned pumpkin puree
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
- pinch of salt
- 8 slices of thick bread (such as brioche or Texas toast)
- butter or oil for cooking
Serving Suggestions:
- maple syrup
- powdered sugar
Instructions
- Mix the Batter: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, pumpkin puree, brown sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt until well combined.
- Cook the French Toast: Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil. Dip each slice of bread into the pumpkin mixture, coating both sides evenly. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve: Repeat with remaining slices. Serve warm with maple syrup and a dusting of powdered sugar if desired.
Notes
- For best results, use slightly stale or day-old bread so it soaks up the custard without getting soggy.
- You can substitute the spices with 1 1/2 teaspoons of pumpkin pie spice if preferred.
