Ingredients
Scale:
4 slices of thick pumpkin bread (store-bought or homemade)
4 large eggs
1 cup milk (whole or non-dairy alternative)
1 cup pumpkin puree
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¼ teaspoon salt
Maple syrup or homemade syrup
Powdered sugar for dusting
Whipped cream (optional)
Chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, pumpkin puree, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until well combined.
Dip each slice of pumpkin bread into the custard mixture, allowing it to soak for about 30 seconds on each side.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or cooking spray.
Place the soaked pumpkin bread slices onto the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
Once cooked, transfer the French toast to a plate and keep it warm in the oven set to low heat.
Top your Classic Pumpkin French Toast with maple syrup, powdered sugar, whipped cream, and chopped nuts.
