I so wish I’d doubled this recipe while I was making it. Tripled, or quadrupled even!
These are so scrumptious…perfect for the fall season.
It’s really simple…you just add some pumpkin puree and spices to the egg-milk mixture.
Then make French toast as you would.
See…easy, peasy…
The eggs, milk, pumpkin and spices.
Whisked.
It will be thick. Thicker than a “regular” French toast mixture.
Don’t fret.
They will cook just fine.
Cook in skillet or on griddle.
Greased.
Well greased.
Grease in between batches too.
This is very important, as the denser egg mixture has more of a tendency to stick!
The flipped side with some drizzles of maple syrup.
With the leftovers, I cut them into “french toast sticks” and froze them.
They freeze beautifully and the kids got to enjoy them for lunch a few days later!

I made these last night for dinner, because breakfast for dinner is always awesome! They were very delicious. I think that the people that got soggy french toast and only got 7 slices do not know how to make french toast. You get it in and out of the batter and onto the pan as quickly as possible. I got 12 slices from this recipe. I really was so delicious and such a great way to sneak in a veggie for breakfast! I did use pumpkin pie mix that already has spices and some sweetener it it.

I’ve never made anything pumpkin related so I have no idea what home pumpkin pie spice is. Can I find it in the grocery store? Can it be labeled just pumpkin spice?
Jenn K says
Yes, it is labeled as pumpkin spice, but you can also create your own with Erin’s recipe: https://www.5dollardinners.com/erins-homemade-pumpkin-pie-spice/

This is delicious! Hoping the left over batter stores well for tomorrow morning.
