Description

This Pumpkin Bread French Toast recipe combines the warm, spiced flavors of pumpkin bread with the classic creamy custard of French toast. Perfect for a cozy breakfast or brunch, it features slices of moist pumpkin bread dipped in an egg and milk mixture, then cooked to golden perfection in a skillet. The recipe can be made with homemade pumpkin bread or store-bought for convenience, and is served warm with maple syrup or butter toppings.

Ingredients

For the Pumpkin Bread French Toast

  • 10-12 pieces of pumpkin bread (sliced 1-inch thick)
  • 4 eggs
  • ⅔ cup milk
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2-4 tablespoons unsalted butter (for cooking)

Optional Toppings

  • Butter
  • Maple syrup
  • Other toppings as desired

Instructions

  1. Prepare Pumpkin Bread: Make the pumpkin bread ahead of time following your preferred recipe or use a store-bought loaf. Ensure it is sliced into 1-inch thick pieces, 10 to 12 slices in total.
  2. Mix Egg Mixture: In a shallow dish, whisk together 4 eggs, ⅔ cup milk, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, and ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon until evenly combined. Set aside.
  3. Heat Skillet: Place a nonstick skillet over medium heat and melt about ½ tablespoon of unsalted butter to coat the pan.
  4. Dip Bread Slices: Quickly dip one side of a pumpkin bread slice into the egg mixture, then immediately flip and dip the other side. A quick dip on each side is sufficient to avoid soggy bread.
  5. Cook the French Toast: Place the dipped bread slice onto the preheated skillet. Cook until golden brown on the first side, then flip and cook the other side until golden and cooked through.
  6. Repeat Cooking: Continue dipping and cooking the remaining slices, adding more butter to the skillet as needed. If your skillet allows, cook two or three slices at a time for efficiency.
  7. Serve: Serve the Pumpkin Bread French Toast warm topped with butter, maple syrup, or any other favorite toppings.

Notes

  • For ease, you can use store-bought pumpkin bread if short on time.
  • Do not soak the bread slices too long in the egg mixture to avoid sogginess.
  • Adjust the amount of butter based on how many batches you cook.
  • Try adding nuts or cream cheese as toppings for extra flavor.
  • Best served immediately when warm and golden.
