Ingredients
Scale
- 3 large eggs
- ¾ cup Silk Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk
- ½ 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
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- Butter (for griddle or pan (and extra for serving))
- 8 slices Texas toast or thick-sliced French toast bread
- Maple syrup (for serving)
Instructions
- Make the Pumpkin Batter: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, almond milk, pumpkin puree, brown sugar, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, and ground nutmeg until smooth and well combined.
- Heat the Griddle or Pan: Preheat a griddle or large skillet over medium heat. Add a small amount of butter to the pan, letting it melt and coat the surface.
- Dip the Bread: Take one slice of bread and dip it into the pumpkin mixture, letting it soak for a few seconds on each side to absorb the flavors. Ensure both sides are evenly coated.
- Cook the French Toast: Place the soaked bread onto the hot griddle. Cook each side for about 3-4 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. Repeat with the remaining bread slices, adding more butter as needed to prevent sticking.
- Serve and Garnish: Serve the pumpkin French toast warm with a dollop of butter and a drizzle of maple syrup. Enjoy the cozy flavors of fall!
Notes
- Batter Consistency: If the batter feels too thick, add a splash more almond milk to thin it out.
- Bread Choice: Use day-old bread for the best texture, as it absorbs the batter better without becoming soggy.
- Spice Adjustment: Feel free to adjust the cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger to your personal taste.
