Give me Pumpkin French Toast all season long
Give me Pumpkin French Toast all season longThis easy Pumpkin French Toast recipe captures everything I crave in a cozy fall breakfast–warm spices, real pumpkin, and that golden, crispy edge from the skillet. It’s made with simple pantry ingredients I always have on hand this time of year, and it comes together just as easily as our classic French toast recipe. My kids absolutely love it, and I find myself making it on repeat throughout the season, especially for slow weekend mornings or festive holiday breakfasts.
You can use any bread you have for this recipe, but I like using thick white bread like Sara Lee Artesano, Texas Toast, Challah, or Brioche Bread.
