When you’re craving the cozy feels of autumn, Pumpkin French Toast is a no-brainer. You’ll have breakfast on the table in less than 10 minutes, and even if you’re feeding a crowd, clean-up is a breeze.

Ingredients

2 Tablespoons unsalted butter, for skillet
4 large eggs
¼ cup pumpkin pie mix
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup whole milk
8 slices brioche bread
Toppings: syrup, powdered sugar, pecans

Instructions

Heat a large skillet on medium high heat with butter.
Mix eggs, pumpkin pie mix, vanilla extract and milk in a mixing bowl.
Dip bread lightly in egg mixture and place on a warm buttered skillet. Cook 1-½ min on each side or until slightly toasted in appearance.
Serve with powdered sugar and pecans and your favorite syrup.

Notes

It’s important not to over-batter the brioche before frying so that it doesn’t get soggy. Dip quickly, flip it, and move right to the fry pan.
If you have time, let the bread sit out and “stale” for a while before preparing this recipe. Lightly toasting the bread before battering will provide a similar result.
Bring your maple syrup to room temperature before adding it. That way it won’t cool off your hot meal!
Pumpkin French Toast is best eaten as soon as it comes out of the skillet. Store any leftover batter for 2-3 days in the refrigerator.
It’s best to set your stove at a low-to-medium temperature for this recipe, so you don’t burn the butter. Burnt butter may add a bitter taste to the dish, which isn’t the end of the world but also isn’t exactly complimentary.
Serve with warm maple syrup or our homemade buttermilk syrup.
