Pumpkin French Toast 5 Steps Ultimate Delicious

Pumpkin French Toast is the ultimate cozy autumn breakfast that will fill your home with the warm, inviting aromas of pumpkin, cinnamon, and spice.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 slices thick bread
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoon brown sugar
  • Butter or oil for cooking
  • Maple syrup for serving
  • Powdered sugar for garnish
  • Chopped pecans or walnuts

Instructions

1. Make the Batter: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, salt, and brown sugar (if using) until smooth and well-combined.

2. Heat the Pan: Place a skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a little butter or oil to coat the surface.

3. Dip the Bread: Dip each slice of bread into the pumpkin mixture, coating both sides well but not soaking it too long.

4. Cook the French Toast: Place the coated bread slices on the hot skillet or griddle. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.

5. Serve and Enjoy: Transfer the Pumpkin French Toast to plates and serve warm, drizzled with maple syrup. Garnish with a dusting of powdered sugar and a sprinkle of chopped pecans or walnuts, if desired.

Notes

Opt for thick, sturdy breads like brioche, challah, or sourdough to ensure the bread can soak up the pumpkin-infused batter without falling apart.

The batter should be thin enough to coat the bread easily, but not so thin that it runs off. Adjust the milk or pumpkin puree as needed to achieve the perfect consistency.

Keep the heat at medium to allow the French toast to cook through without burning the outside. Adjust the temperature as needed to achieve that perfect golden-brown color.

Any leftover pumpkin batter can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
