Ingredients

Scale

French Toast Mixture

  • 4 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup milk (any milk you like will work fine)
  • 1/2 cup pure pumpkin purée
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2 tablespoons light brown sugar, packed
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves

Bread & Cooking

  • 9 – 12 slices sandwich bread (such as Texas toast, challah, or any bread of your choice)
  • Butter, for greasing the pan

Toppings

  • 1 recipe of Whipped Pumpkin Spice Honey Butter
  • Powdered sugar, for dusting
  • Maple syrup, for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Preheat: Preheat a griddle or a skillet over medium heat to ensure even cooking and prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Ingredients: In a shallow dish, whisk together the beaten eggs, milk, pumpkin purée, pinch of salt, brown sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, allspice, and cloves until fully combined and smooth. This mixture serves as the flavorful custard to soak the bread.
  3. Prepare Pan and Bread: Use about a tablespoon of butter to grease the preheated pan. Dip each bread slice into the egg mixture, coating both sides thoroughly but not soaking too long to prevent sogginess.
  4. Cook French Toast: Place the coated bread slices onto the pan and cook for about 2-3 minutes on one side until golden brown, then flip and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes. Adjust heat as needed to avoid burning. Transfer cooked slices to a serving plate and repeat with remaining bread, adding more butter to the pan as necessary.
  5. Serve: Serve the pumpkin French toast warm, dusted with powdered sugar, drizzled with maple syrup, and topped generously with whipped pumpkin spice honey butter for an indulgent finish. Enjoy immediately!

Notes

  • Use thick-cut bread like Texas toast or challah for the best texture and soak absorption.
  • If you prefer dairy-free, substitute milk with almond, oat, or any plant-based milk.
  • Adjust the spices to your taste; adding a bit more cinnamon or nutmeg enhances the pumpkin flavor.
  • Whipped pumpkin spice honey butter can be made ahead and refrigerated for convenience.
  • To keep cooked French toast warm while finishing the batch, place them on a baking sheet in a 200°F (93°C) oven.
