Ingredients
  

  • 4.0 slices thick-cut bread
  • 0.5 cup pumpkin puree
  • 2.0 large eggs
  • 0.25 cup milk
  • 1.0 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1.0 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • 0.0 pinch salt
  • 2.0 tablespoons butter
  • 0.0 optional powdered sugar
  • 0.0 optional whipped cream
  • 0.0 optional pecans

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Batter: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, eggs, milk, vanilla extract, pumpkin pie spice, ground cinnamon, maple syrup, and a pinch of salt until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  • Preheat the Skillet: Place a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter. Allow the butter to melt and coat the surface evenly.
  • Coat the Bread: Dip each slice of thick-cut bread into the pumpkin spice mixture, ensuring both sides are well-coated. Allow any excess batter to drip off.
  • Cook the French Toast: Place the coated slices into the preheated skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and slightly crisp. Add more butter as needed for additional slices.
  • Make Crunches: Once the French toast slices are cooked, remove them from the skillet and let them cool for a moment. Cut the slices into bite-sized pieces to create the crunches.
  • Serve: Plate the pumpkin spice French toast crunches and drizzle with extra maple syrup. Add optional toppings like powdered sugar, whipped cream, and chopped nuts if desired.
