Pumpkin Spiced French Toast
This pumpkin spiced French toast is the perfect fall breakfast treat. It only takes a few minutes to whip up and is perfect for the whole family!
Servings: 6 servings
Ingredients
For The Custard Mixture
- 6 bread slices
- ¼ cup pumpkin puree
- 1 egg
- 3 tbsp milk
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- ¼ tsp pumpkin spice
- ¼ tsp vanilla extract
For The Cream Cheese Filling/Drizzle
- 3 oz cream cheese softened
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- ¼ tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Remove the crusts from the bread slices and roll them out flat using a rolling pin. (If you are making normal French toast slices, you can skip this step and dip the whole slices into the custard).
- Mix together the softened cream cheese, 1 tablespoon of maple syrup, and 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla extract until smooth.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture on each bread slice, leaving a little space at the ends. Roll each slice into a tight log.
- Whisk together the pumpkin puree, eggs, milk, pumpkin spice, maple syrup, and vanilla to form the custard.
- Dip each stuffed log/slice into the batter, shaking off any excess, and set aside.
- Melt some butter in a pan on medium/low heat and cook the logs/slices until they are browned on both sides.
Notes
- You may use this batter to make pumpkin cheesecake roll-ups or plain pumpkin French toast slices.
- Brioche bread is great to use for a decadent breakfast treat!
- The sweetness and fluffiness of brioche bread pair perfectly with the pumpkin flavors!
