How To Make Pumpkin French Toast
Instructions:
Prepare the Custard: In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, yogurt or eggs, milk, pumpkin pie spices, maple syrup (if using), and vanilla extract.
Heat the Skillet: Place 1-2 teaspoons butter or oil in a skillet and heat over medium heat. Ensure the skillet is evenly coated as the butter melts and starts to sizzle.
Dip and Fry: Immerse 2 to 3 slices of bread in the pumpkin custard mixture, ensuring they're well coated, and immediately place them in the hot skillet. Fry each side for 2-3 minutes or until they turn a golden-brown hue. Transfer the cooked slices to a plate or cooling rack.
Serve and Enjoy: Once all slices are cooked, serve the pumpkin french toast warm. Sprinkle with cinnamon, dust with powdered sugar, and drizzle with maple syrup as desired.
Pro Tip: For a richer flavor, let the bread slices soak a little longer in the custard, ensuring they absorb more of the pumpkin goodness.
