Description
A delicious and seasonal twist on classic French toast, infused with pumpkin spice flavors.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 8 slices of thick bread (such as brioche or challah)
- Butter or oil for cooking
- Maple syrup for serving
- Powdered sugar for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, pumpkin puree, eggs, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt until well combined.
- Preheat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a small amount of butter or oil to coat the surface.
- Dip each slice of bread into the pumpkin mixture, allowing it to soak for a few seconds on each side. Let any excess batter drip off.
- Place the soaked bread slices onto the preheated skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Repeat the process with the remaining bread slices, adding more butter or oil to the skillet as needed.
- Serve warm, drizzled with maple syrup and dusted with powdered sugar if desired.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, substitute half of the milk with heavy cream.
- Add chopped pecans or walnuts to the batter for added texture and flavor.
