Ingredients
  

1 cup canned pumpkin puree

4 large eggs

1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)

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 (such as brioche or challah)

1/4 cup brown sugar (optional, for sweetness)

Butter or oil for cooking

Maple syrup for serving

Powdered sugar for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Pumpkin Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, salt, and brown sugar (if using). Whisk until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

    Cut the Bread: Slice each piece of bread into 3 strips, creating French toast sticks.

      Coat the Bread Sticks: Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a small amount of butter or oil. Dip each bread stick into the pumpkin mixture, ensuring it is fully coated but not overly saturated.

        Cook the French Toast Sticks: Place the coated bread sticks onto the hot skillet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and slightly crispy. You may need to do this in batches depending on the size of your skillet.

          Serve: Once cooked, transfer the sticks to a serving plate. Dust with powdered sugar if desired and serve with maple syrup on the side for dipping.

            Enjoy: Dive into these deliciously spiced Pumpkin French Toast Sticks while they’re warm, with a drizzle of maple syrup for that perfect sweet touch!
