Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Pumpkin puree
- 3 Eggs
- 0.75 cup Milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground ginger
- 2 tablespoons Sugar
- 6 slices Thick-sliced bread (such as brioche or challah)
- 2 tablespoons Butter (for cooking)
- 0.5 cup Walnuts
- 0.25 cup Maple syrup (for serving)
- 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, eggs, milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground ginger, and sugar until smooth and well combined.
Preheat a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter to coat the surface.
Dip one slice of bread at a time into the pumpkin mixture, making sure both sides are fully coated. Let any excess drip off before placing it in the skillet.
Cook each slice for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Repeat with all slices, adding the remaining butter as needed.
While the French toast is cooking, toast the walnuts. Place the walnuts in a dry skillet over medium-low heat and stir frequently until they are fragrant and lightly browned, about 4-5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
To serve, place 2-3 slices of French toast on a plate. Top with a handful of toasted walnuts, drizzle with maple syrup, and sprinkle with powdered sugar, if desired.
Enjoy your Pumpkin French Toast with Toasted Walnuts while warm!
