Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture:
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1/2 cup canned pumpkin purée
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
Additional:
- 8 slices thick bread (such as brioche, challah, or Texas toast)
- butter or oil for the pan
Instructions
- Mix the Egg Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, pumpkin purée, brown sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt until smooth.
- Cook the French Toast: Preheat a griddle or large skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil. Dip each slice of bread into the pumpkin mixture, coating both sides evenly but not soaking too long. Place the coated slices on the hot griddle and cook for 2–3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve: Serve warm with maple syrup, powdered sugar, or a dollop of whipped cream.
Notes
- Day-old bread works best for soaking up the custard without getting soggy.
- Add a splash of maple syrup or pumpkin spice to the batter for extra flavor.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated in a toaster or air fryer.
