Description

This Pumpkin Pie French Toast with Homemade Pumpkin Syrup is a cozy fall breakfast that tastes just like dessert. Each slice is golden and crisp on the outside, creamy on the inside, and drizzled with a warm pumpkin syrup that adds rich, spiced sweetness to every bite.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 slices thick-cut brioche bread (slightly stale)
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/4 cup pumpkin puree (for syrup)
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (for syrup)
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (for syrup)

Instructions

  1. Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium heat.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, eggs, milk, brown sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until smooth.
  3. Melt butter in the skillet until lightly sizzling.
  4. Dip each slice of bread into the pumpkin mixture, allowing it to soak for about 20 seconds per side.
  5. Cook the soaked bread on the skillet for 3 minutes per side until golden brown and crisp.
  6. In a small saucepan, combine syrup ingredients (pumpkin puree, maple syrup, cinnamon, water, and vanilla).
  7. Simmer the syrup over medium heat for 5–7 minutes until slightly thickened.
  8. Serve the French toast warm, drizzled with homemade pumpkin syrup and topped with whipped cream if desired.

Notes

  • Use day-old bread for the best texture and to prevent sogginess.
  • Keep cooked slices warm in a 200°F oven while finishing the batch.
  • Add a splash of cream to the syrup for a richer version.
