Ingredients
  

For the French Toast:

4 slices of thick Texas toast or challah bread

3 large eggs

1 cup milk (whole or almond for a dairy-free option)

1/2 cup pumpkin puree

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

Pinch of salt

Butter or oil for cooking

For the Homemade Pumpkin Syrup:

1/2 cup maple syrup

1/4 cup pumpkin puree

1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

Prepare the Pumpkin Pie Mixture: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, pumpkin puree, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt until well combined.

    Soak the Bread: Heat a griddle or non-stick pan over medium heat. Dip each slice of bread into the pumpkin mixture, allowing them to soak for about 30 seconds per side, ensuring they absorb the flavor.

      Cook the French Toast: Add butter or oil to the hot griddle. Place the soaked bread onto the griddle and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through. Repeat with remaining slices, adding more butter or oil as needed.

        Make the Pumpkin Syrup: In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the maple syrup, pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla extract. Stir gently until warmed through and well blended (about 5 minutes).

          Serve: Stack the pumpkin pie French toast on plates, drizzle generously with the homemade pumpkin syrup, and if desired, top with whipped cream or a sprinkle of extra cinnamon.
