Ingredients
Scale
Batter Ingredients
- 1/3 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/4 cup regular or non-dairy yogurt (option to use 2 eggs instead)
- 1 cup unsweetened oat or almond milk (option to use regular milk or cream)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spices
- 2 tbsp maple syrup (optional)
Bread and Cooking
- 1 loaf regular or gluten-free bread (about 16 slices)
- Regular or vegan butter for frying
- 1 tsp cinnamon
Instructions
- Prepare the Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, yogurt (or eggs), unsweetened oat or almond milk, vanilla extract, pumpkin pie spices, and optional maple syrup. Whisk everything together until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
- Heat the Pan: Place a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a small amount of regular or vegan butter, allowing it to melt and coat the surface evenly.
- Dip the Bread: Take each slice of bread and dip it into the pumpkin batter. Let the bread soak for a few seconds on each side so it absorbs the flavors but does not become too soggy.
- Cook the French Toast: Transfer the dipped bread to the hot skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through. Adjust the heat as necessary to avoid burning.
- Season and Serve: While cooking, sprinkle some cinnamon on the French toast slices if desired. Serve hot with additional maple syrup, fresh fruit, or your favorite toppings.

- Gluten-free bread can be used to make this recipe gluten-free.
- For a vegan version, use vegan butter and plant-based yogurt.
- Adjust the pumpkin pie spice according to your taste preference.
