Pumpkin French Toast

Pumpkin French Toast

French toast is one of my favorite breakfasts. I’ll pick it over pancakes or waffles any day. When I saw a recipe adding pumpkin to French toast it sounded like a match made in Heaven…especially since I always want everything pumpkin this time of year. The pureed pumpkin and pumpkin pie spice really add a warm, seasonal Autumn twist to traditional French toast. I loved how fast it was to heat these up as leftovers, and you could certainly freeze any that you didn’t plan to eat within a few days. I left the toppings up to you, but I actually liked mine with some light Reddi-wip and a little more pumpkin pie spice sprinkled over the top. Add a link of turkey breakfast sausage and some fruit salad and you have a perfect, filling & complete breakfast worthy of company, family or just a quiet morning by yourself.

Pumpkin French Toast

Pumpkin French Toast

This recipe adds a warm, seasonal Autumn twist to traditional French toast!

Ingredients

  • 3 large eggs
  • ½ cup skim milk
  • ¾ cup canned pumpkin
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 10 slices light wheat bread, such as Pepperidge Farms light style

Instructions

  • In a large shallow bowl (I usually use a glass pie plate), combine the eggs, milk, pumpkin and spice and whisk together until thoroughly mixed. Set aside.
  • Mist a griddle or skillet with cooking spray and bring to medium-low to medium heat. Dip each side of a piece of bread into your egg/pumpkin mixture to coat and then shake off any excess mixture. Place the coated bread on the pan and repeat until the pan is full. Cook for 1-2 minutes or until the bottom is golden brown and then flip and cook an additional 1-2 minutes. You will likely need to do several batches – don’t forget to re-mist your griddle with cooking spray in between!
