Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 4 eggs (lightly beaten)
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup 100% pure pumpkin puree
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

Spices & Seasonings

  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • pinch kosher salt

Other

  • 10 slices thick sliced wheat or white bread
  • 4 tablespoons butter for griddle (divided)
  • pure maple syrup for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat Griddle: Preheat a non-stick griddle to 325 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure even cooking of the French toast.
  2. Prepare Egg Mixture: In a large bowl or shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, pumpkin puree, brown sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, and a pinch of kosher salt until fully combined.
  3. Cook French Toast: Melt 1-2 tablespoons of butter on the preheated griddle. Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, allowing it to soak briefly, then shake off excess and place onto the griddle. Work in batches as needed.
  4. Cook Until Golden: Cook the bread slices for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until they are light golden brown and fluffy in texture.
  5. Serve: Serve the French toast hot, topped with additional butter and warm pure maple syrup for a sweet, comforting finish.

Notes

  • Use thick sliced bread to prevent sogginess and to hold the pumpkin egg mixture well.
  • For extra flavor, sprinkle a little powdered sugar or chopped nuts on top before serving.
  • Adjust cooking temperature if the toast browns too quickly to avoid burning.
  • Pumpkin puree can be homemade or canned, but ensure it is 100% pure pumpkin, not pumpkin pie filling.
  • Can be made ahead and kept warm in a low oven while cooking in batches.
