Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 4 slices slices of bread Stale bread works best
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree Can use fresh or canned
- 2 whole eggs Large eggs recommended
- 1/4 cup milk Use almond or coconut milk for dairy-free
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- Maple syrup For serving
- Butter For cooking
Instructions
Preparation
- In a bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well combined.
- Heat butter in a pan over medium heat until melted and bubbly.
Cooking
- Dip each slice of bread into the pumpkin mixture, making sure to coat both sides evenly.
- Place the coated bread slices in the hot pan and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes for each side.
- Serve warm with a generous drizzle of maple syrup.
Notes
Don't soak the bread too long to avoid sogginess. Stale bread absorbs the mixture better. Control the heat to prevent burning.
