Ingredients
  

For the French Toast:

1 cup pumpkin puree (canned or fresh)

4 large eggs

1 cup milk (or your choice of milk)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

1/4 teaspoon salt

8 slices of thick bread (brioche or challah work beautifully)

Butter or oil for cooking

For the Homemade Pumpkin Syrup:

1 cup maple syrup

1/2 cup pumpkin puree

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Pinch of salt

Instructions
 

Prepare the Pumpkin Pie Mixture: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, eggs, milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt until well combined. Set aside.

    Make the Pumpkin Syrup: In a small saucepan, combine the maple syrup, pumpkin puree, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and a pinch of salt. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until warmed through and well mixed. Set aside.

      Coat the Bread: Heat a griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a little butter or oil. Dip each slice of bread into the pumpkin mixture, allowing it to soak for a few seconds on each side, ensuring it's well-coated but not overly saturated.

        Cook the French Toast: Place the coated bread slices onto the hot griddle and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Adjust the heat as necessary to avoid burning.

          Serve: Once cooked, stack the pumpkin pie French toast on plates. Drizzle generously with the homemade pumpkin syrup and top with whipped cream or toasted pecans if desired.

            Enjoy: Serve warm and enjoy your delightful Pumpkin Pie French Toast with the rich flavors of fall!
