What You’ll Love About This Recipe

This recipe is a wonderful twist on the classic French toast, with rich pumpkin flavor in each bite. Perfectly spiced and lightly sweet, it’s quick to prepare, easy to make gluten-free, and ideal for pumpkin lovers. Plus, it’s versatile—you can use egg replacers if you prefer!

Ingredients for the Perfect Pumpkin Spice French Toast

2 slices thick-cut gluten-free bread (or your preferred bread type)
2 medium eggs (or egg replacer if desired)
80ml milk (dairy or plant-based)
2 tbsp pumpkin puree (for that true autumn flavor)
1 tbsp maple syrup (for natural sweetness)
1 tsp pumpkin spice (a blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves)

Simple Steps to Make It

1. Mix Your Ingredients

In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs (or egg replacer), milk, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, and pumpkin spice. Make sure the mixture is smooth and fully combined, as this will evenly coat the bread and ensure that each slice is perfectly flavored.

2. Coat the Bread

Place each slice of bread into the pumpkin mixture, letting each side soak for a few seconds. Tip: Thick-cut bread works best for absorbing the flavors without becoming too soft.

3. Cook Until Golden

Heat a lightly greased skillet over medium heat. Once warm, add the soaked bread slices, cooking each side for about 2-3 minutes or until they turn golden brown. Pro tip: Cooking over medium heat helps achieve that ideal golden crust without overcooking the inside.

Topping Suggestions

For a truly indulgent autumn breakfast, top your French toast with:

A sprinkle of icing sugar for a delicate sweetness
A drizzle of maple syrup to complement the pumpkin spice
Whipped cream for extra creaminess
A dash of extra pumpkin spice to enhance the flavor

Tips for Success

Use Thick-Cut Bread: This helps the bread soak up the pumpkin mixture without getting mushy.
Experiment with Milk: Regular, almond, or oat milk all work well—choose what you like best!
Cook Slowly: Medium heat allows each slice to cook through evenly while achieving a lovely, crispy exterior.

Serving and Storing

Serve your Pumpkin Spice French Toast warm and freshly made. If you have leftovers, they can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in a skillet or toaster oven for the best texture.

Enjoy this seasonal favorite with a cup of coffee or tea—it’s a delicious way to bring autumn flavors to your breakfast table! 🍂
