Pumpkin French Toast made with actual pumpkin puree and not just the spices. You'll LOVE this delicious breakfast treat that is actually just as easy to make as regular French toast.
Maple syrup, honey, powdered sugar,¼ and/or butter for serving
Instructions
Combine all the ingredients from the milk to the salt in a bowl or container that is wide enough for your bread slices. Mix well with a whisk.
Heat a non-stick skillet, then add your coconut oil or butter. Dip the bread into the pumpkin mixture until it's soaked on both sides, and gently shake off the excess batter.
Cook the soaked bread on each side for 2-3 minutes over medium heat, or until as done as desired - longer for browned crispier French toast, less time for a softer French toast.
Repeat step 3 with the remaining pieces of bread.
Notes
Bread: You can use any kind of bread you prefer for French toast! I've used whole wheat, white sandwich bread, challah, cinnamon raisin bread, sliced baguettes, sourdough
Spices: 1.5 teaspoons pumpkin spice makes a somewhat spiced French toast. Feel free to cut down the first time if you're not sure! You can also use a 1-1.5 teaspoons cinnamon in place of the pumpkin spice, or make your own pumpkin spice mixture, just enough for this recipe:
Cooking oil: I find unrefined coconut oil amazing for cooking French toast and pancakes! It has a subtle coconut flavor and scent that does not overpower, and just adds to the coziness factor
