How to Make Pumpkin French Toast

Step 1 – Mix Ingredients – First, in a mixing bowl whisk together eggs, milk, pumpkin, and brown sugar. Then add in vanilla extract and pumpkin spice until well blended.

Step 2 – Pour Pumpkin Mixture a pie plate – Then transfer this egg mixture to a shallow baking dish. We recommend like a pie plate or shallow baking pan.

• Step 3 – Heat Skillet – Next pre-heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat (or electric griddle). Then place a small pat of butter in skillet.

Step 4 – Dip Bread – When the butter melts, dip a piece of bread slices in the egg mixture. Allowing the mixture to absorb for a couple of seconds into the bread.

Step 5 – Flip Bread – Then flip the bread over and dip the other side.

Step 6 – Cook Bread – Next cook the bread in skillet or griddle until bottom is browned.

Step 7 – Flip Bread – Then flip to cook other side until browned. Finally, dust the pumpkin French toast with powdered sugar or serve with butter and syrup. Enjoy!

French Toast Tips

• Preheat Skillet – The secret to getting the golden edges is to preheat your pan before using.
• Bread – Day old bread is best in this recipe. Fresh bread dissolves more quickly in the egg mixture and becomes soggy. This is a great way to use bread that is getting stale. It will make fabulous French toast.
• Dipping into Mixture – Be careful that you do not soak the bread too long in the mixture. This will result in the French toast losing its shape during cooking.
