Pumpkin French Toast is a cozy breakfast full of pumpkin and spice. Thick slices of bread are soaked in a pumpkin pie like egg mixture. Topped with maple syrup and powdered sugar, this is a delicious fall breakfast!
French toast is just the best. It’s rather easy to whip up and always a favorite. This pumpkin version went over well with my whole family. I cut up the leftovers into sticks and froze them for easy breakfasts later too!
We loved these topped with pure maple syrup. I am a total syrup snob. I seriously can’t eat the fake stuff. The flavor of real maple syrup is just the best. I also love buttermilk syrup (who doesn’t?!) I’m sure that would be great on this pumpkin french toast or this spiced buttermilk caramel syrup would be pretty amazing too. However, I do think the real maple syrup allows the pumpkin flavor to shine and compliments it well. So whatever you drizzle on top, it’s gonna be great!
