Servings: 4 servings
Equipment
Ingredients
- ⅓ cup pumpkin purée
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon maple extract
- 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
- 1 ½ teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- ½ cup milk
- 8 slices thick-cut white bread
- butter or oil for the griddle
- maple syrup, whipped cream, pecans, pumpkin butter, etc., for serving
Instructions
- In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, maple extract, brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and milk until well combined.
- Grease a griddle pan with butter or oil, and heat the griddle on medium heat.
- Take a slice of bread, and dip it into the egg mixture on both sides, allowing the excess mixture to drip off.
- Place the battered bread on the griddle and cook for about 3 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Repeat with the rest of the bread.
- To serve, place two slices of French toast on a serving plate, and if desired, top with whipped cream, syrup, and cinnamon.
Notes
- Make sure you are using pumpkin puree and not pumpkin pie mix.
- It is important to really whisk the eggs so you don’t get scrambled egg bits in your French toast!
- Storing leftovers is simple. Place the cooled slices in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to three days. When you're ready to eat, simply reheat in the oven or microwave.
- To freeze - allow the slices to cool completely. Place a sheet of parchment paper between each slice to prevent them from sticking together. Then, store the slices in an airtight freezer bag or container. When you're ready to enjoy your frozen Pumpkin Spice French Toast, you can either thaw it in the refrigerator overnight or go straight to reheating. If you opt for the latter, you can use an oven set at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 to 15 minutes, or use a microwave in 30-second intervals until heated through. You might also consider reheating it in a skillet over low heat.
