Pumpkin Pie French Toast with Homemade Pumpkin Syrup 🍯
Ingredients:
For the French Toast:
4 large eggs
1 cup milk
1 cup canned pumpkin puree
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
8 slices of bread (preferably thick, like Texas toast)
For the Homemade Pumpkin Syrup:
1 cup maple syrup
1/2 cup canned pumpkin puree
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions:
Begin by whisking the eggs, milk, pumpkin puree, sugar, vanilla extract, pumpkin pie spice, and ground cinnamon together in a large bowl until smooth.
Thoroughly soak each bread slice in the pumpkin mixture, making sure both sides absorb the liquid evenly.
Preheat a skillet or griddle on medium heat and apply a light coating of butter or non-stick spray.
Fry each slice for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until they turn a delightful golden brown.
For the syrup, mix the maple syrup, pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, and ground cinnamon in a saucepan. Warm the mixture over medium heat while stirring now and then.
Drizzle the warm pumpkin syrup over the French toast. You might also want to dust it with powdered sugar or sprinkle a bit more cinnamon on top for an extra flavor boost.
