Ingredients
Scale
- 4 slices of thick bread (such as challah or brioche)
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 2 tablespoons butter (for cooking)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/4 cup pumpkin puree
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Step 1: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, eggs, milk, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger until well combined to create the batter.
- Step 2: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt about one tablespoon of butter, ensuring it coats the surface.
- Step 3: Dip each slice of bread into the pumpkin batter, allowing it to soak for a few seconds on each side before placing it onto the heated skillet.
- Step 4: Cook the bread for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Add more butter as needed for cooking additional slices.
- Step 5: While the French toast is cooking, prepare the whipped pumpkin spice honey butter by combining the softened butter, pumpkin puree, honey, cinnamon, and salt in a mixing bowl. Whip until fluffy and smooth.
- Step 6: Serve the warm pumpkin French toast topped with a generous dollop of whipped pumpkin spice honey butter. Enjoy!
Notes
- For optimal freshness, store any leftover pumpkin French toast in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- To reheat, simply place the slices in a toaster or warm them gently in a skillet over low heat to retain their fluffy texture.
- For an extra special touch, serve the French toast with sliced bananas or pecans on top, alongside a drizzle of maple syrup for added sweetness.
- When preparing the whipped pumpkin spice honey butter, ensure your butter is fully softened at room temperature for the best texture and flavor integration.
