How to Make Pumpkin Spice French Toast

  1. In a shallow bowl or dish add in 4 eggs and whisk. Add in brown sugar, pumpkin, ginger, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Whisk together until combined. Add in milk and whisk until combined. Set aside.

Recipe Tips

  • Low and slow. Do not cook your French toast on high heat. This can burn it and not cook the center properly.
  • Don’t crowd the pan. I recommend only cooking one slice at a time, unless you are cooking in a large skillet. This helps the overall cooking process.

Storage Instructions

Leftover French toast can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days or frozen in a tight freezer bag for up to 1 month.

Can I Make this Recipe Ahead of Time?

You can certainly make the French toast batter and the butter ahead of time, especially if are planning a breakfast board. Pumpkin/egg mixture can be stored in a plastic container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Maple butter can be stored in the fridge in a tight container for up to 1 week. It can be frozen tightly wrapped in plastic wrap and formed into a log.

Optional Substitutions

You can make the recipe dairy free by using vegan butter instead of regular and almond milk instead of regular milk.

Instead of maple syrup for serving you can add a drizzle of honey.
