Equipment

Ingredients
- 8 slices whole grain bread, slightly stale*
- 1 cup milk or milk alternative
- ½ cup pumpkin puree
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- dash salt
- ½ tablespoon unsalted butter
Toppings:
- Diced fresh fruit
- Toasted coconut or nuts
- Nut or seed butter

Instructions
- Preheat a griddle or skillet to medium-low heat.
- In a shallow bowl or pie plate, whisk together milk, pumpkin, eggs, maple syrup, vanilla, pumpkin pie spice, and salt.
- Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, flipping to coat both sides completely. Ensure bread fully absorbs the mixture, but is not soggy.
- Melt butter on the griddle and spread evenly with a pastry brush. Place bread slices onto the pan.
- Cook for ~2–3 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Add more butter to the pan if needed between batches. Serve with toppings to YOUR taste. Enjoy!
Notes
*If bread is not slightly stale, pop it in the toaster to help dry it out.
If you have leftover egg mixture, make more French toast!
