Pumpkin Spice French Toast combines the classic delight of French toast with the warm, spicy flavors of fall. It’s an easy recipe that can make any morning feel special and cozy.
Ingredients Needed
- 4 slices of thick bread (brioche or Texas toast work well)
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup of milk
- 1/4 cup canned pumpkin puree
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- Pinch of salt
- Maple syrup and whipped cream for topping
Step-by-Step Preparation
Start by whisking together the eggs, milk, pumpkin puree, vanilla, and spices in a shallow dish. Dip each slice of bread into the mixture, ensuring both sides are well-coated. Let it soak for a few seconds to absorb the flavors.
Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or cooking spray. Place the soaked bread slices onto the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through.
Serving Suggestions
Serve your Pumpkin Spice French Toast warm, topped with a drizzle of maple syrup and a dollop of whipped cream. For extra flavor, sprinkle with a little extra cinnamon or nutmeg. You can also add fresh fruit like sliced bananas or apples for a nutritious touch.
