Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup canned pure pumpkin
- 1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy alternatives)
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves (optional)
- 8 slices brioche or challah bread
- Butter or cooking spray for pan
- Powdered sugar and additional maple syrup for serving
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, canned pumpkin, milk, and maple syrup until well combined. Add vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves to incorporate the warm spices.
- Dip each bread slice into the pumpkin mixture, soaking for about 20 seconds each side, ensuring it’s coated but not soggy.
- Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium heat, coating with butter or spray. Cook the dipped bread slices for approximately 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
- If necessary, keep cooked slices warm in a low oven. Serve topped with powdered sugar, a drizzle of maple syrup, and your favorite toppings.
Notes
- Use day-old bread for better absorption and texture.
- Adjust spices to suit your taste preferences, adding more cinnamon or nutmeg for a bolder flavor.
- Pair with seasonal fruits or nuts for added texture and flavor.
- Reheat leftovers in a toaster or oven for quick, warm servings.
