Pumpkin is such a versatile flavor – it tastes great in both sweet and savory dishes. But what I love most about pumpkin is how easy it is to incorporate into your favorite recipes. And this easy pumpkin French toast recipe is no exception! Simply add a little bit of pumpkin and some spices to traditional French toast to instantly have a delicious breakfast packed with fall flavor.

Pumpkin french toast bake

The first step to making your pumpkin French toast recipe is to preheat. Start by heating up your griddle or skillet because you need to start with hot cooking surface to make the best pumpkin French toast! And since we’re going to finish off this pumpkin pie French toast in the oven, you’ll also need to preheat the oven for baking.

Next, whip up your pumpkin custard by combining eggs, pumpkin, vanilla extract, pumpkin pie spice, and cinnamon in a large, shallow dish. A baking dish is a great choice because it will easily hold all your ingredients while also giving you plenty of room for dipping your bread slices into the mixture.

Dip each bread slice in the egg mixture until each side is completely coated, then place the coated bread on your hot skillet. Cook each side until golden brown. I loved using Texas toast for my pumpkin French toast, but there are a variety of bread types you could choose from – brioche, French, challah, sourdough, and potato bread are all great options. Whichever bread type you choose, remember that thick-sliced bread is great for French toast because it soaks up the custard without getting soggy.

While your pumpkin French toast slices are cooking, mix your cinnamon and sugar together on a small plate. As you remove the cooked toast slices from the skillet, dip each side of the slice into the cinnamon sugar mixture and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

When your baking sheet is full, place it in the oven for 10 minutes. On top of creating a nice, crispy crust on the outside of your French toast, baking the toast after frying it will also help melt the sugars a bit, creating a delicious syrup on top of each slice.

When the French toast slices are nice and crisp with a beautiful syrup on top, remove them from the oven and serve immediately. These pumpkin French toast slices are great on their own, but you could also top them with more cinnamon sugar, whipped cream, or maple syrup for a delicious fall breakfast.
