Pumpkin French Toast
Found this at Pinterest and think it needs tried too. It would be something different for fall with the pumpkin for us. We’ve had the pumpkin pancakes and enjoy them so why not this!
Pumpkin Pie French Toast

- Once all are cooked, serve with butter and maple. And a side of fresh fruit.

With the leftovers, I cut them into “french toast sticks” and froze them. They freeze beautifully and the kids got to enjoy them for lunch a few days later!

Sounds good. I appreciate the pumpkin pie spice mix – that will be handy.
I’ve made french toast with banana bread; wonder how it would be with pumpkin bread?
Becky, I just might find out how it works with a pumpkin-type bread. I purchased a round pumpkin cinnamon swirl loaf at King’s Restaurant the other night that is dry. Not sure if it was old or what…day old usually works well for French Toast, and we have a quart of fresh maple syrup that was gifted to us. Sounds like a plan!
Sherry, let me know what you think. Fresh maple syrup…… wow, that’s a great gift!
