Pumpkin French Toast

Ingredients

  • 3 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup Silk Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
  • 2 tablespoons light brown sugar

    packed

  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • butter

    for griddle or pan and for serving

  • 8 slices Texas toast or thick-sliced French toast bread*
  • Maple syrup

    for serving

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat electric griddle (takes about 10 minutes) or preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat a minute or two before you’ll need it; set aside.

  2. 2

    In a large mixing bowl, combine eggs, milk, pumpkin, sugars, vanilla, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, nutmeg, and whisk until combined.

  3. 3

    Butter the griddle or skillet.

  4. 4

    Dip 1 slice of bread into the coating mixture for about 10 seconds, flipping over once, and making sure it’s well-coated before adding to griddle. Repeat with all slices of bread until coating mixture is gone.

  5. 5

    Cook for about 3 to 4 minutes per side, or until as done and browned as desired. Add more butter to griddle or skillet as necessary and wipe griddle with paper towel as necessary to remove black bits.

  6. 6

    Serve immediately with butter and maple syrup or your favorite topping.

  7. 7

    French toast is best warm and fresh, but will keep airtight in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 6 months and can be gently reheated in the micro or toaster.

About this Recipe

Craving a cozy, comforting breakfast that tastes like autumn in every bite? This Pumpkin French Toast recipe delivers a delightful blend of warm spices and creamy pumpkin, transforming a classic into something truly special.

Why This Pumpkin French Toast Is a Must-Try

The magic of this French toast lies in its perfectly balanced flavor profile. The rich pumpkin puree is beautifully complemented by a medley of pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, and nutmeg, creating an inviting warmth. Using Silk Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk adds a subtle hint of vanilla and a delicate richness without overwhelming the star pumpkin flavor, making for a decadent yet surprisingly light batter that coats your bread perfectly.

What you'll experience is a truly satisfying breakfast or brunch that's simple enough for a weekday but feels special enough for a weekend treat. Each bite offers a tender, moist interior with the robust, earthy sweetness of pumpkin and an aromatic embrace of spices. The touch of brown sugar in the batter caramelizes subtly as it cooks, adding depth and a lovely golden hue to the thick slices of bread.

Customization & Serving Suggestions

This recipe is incredibly versatile. While Texas toast or thick-sliced French toast bread is recommended for its sturdy texture, feel free to experiment with other hearty breads like challah or brioche. You can also adjust the spice levels to your preference, adding a little extra cinnamon or a pinch more nutmeg if you love bold flavors. If you don't have Silk Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk, other milks can be used, though you might miss the subtle vanilla note it provides.

Serve your warm Pumpkin French Toast immediately, generously drizzled with maple syrup. For an extra touch, a dollop of whipped cream or a sprinkle of toasted pecans would make this autumn-inspired dish even more irresistible. It's the perfect centerpiece for a leisurely breakfast or a festive holiday brunch.
