Pumpkin Pie French Toast

Irresistible Pumpkin Pie French Toast – 5 Reasons You’ll Crave It All Fall

A cozy fall-inspired breakfast featuring thick slices of bread dipped in a pumpkin pie spiced custard, cooked until golden brown, and served with maple syrup and whipped cream.

  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup canned pumpkin puree
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 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 bread (thick-cut, like brioche or challah)
  • Butter or oil for cooking
  • Powdered sugar (optional)
  • Maple syrup (for serving)
  • Whipped cream (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pumpkin Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, pumpkin puree, brown sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt until well combined.
  2. Dip the Bread: Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and add butter or oil. Dip each slice of bread into the pumpkin mixture, allowing it to soak for a few seconds on each side. Let any excess mixture drip off before placing the bread on the skillet.
  3. Cook the French Toast: Cook each slice for about 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Adjust the heat if needed to ensure even cooking without burning.
  4. Serve: Serve warm, with powdered sugar if desired. Add maple syrup and whipped cream if preferred.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, try adding a pinch of cloves or allspice to the pumpkin mixture.
  • Use day-old bread for better absorption and texture.
  • This recipe works great for holiday brunches and can be doubled for larger gatherings.
