I know it seems a little early for pumpkin, but fall is right around the corner! Weā€™re always looking for new tasty breakfast ideas, especially for weekend mornings. These pumpkin french toast sticks were a total hit with the family. Theyā€™re drenched in a pumpkin spice egg mixture and rolled in cinnamon sugar. Whatā€™s not to love? Little hands will love dunking these in maple or buttered pecan syrup- yum!

The key to making really good french toast sticks is to use stale bread and cut it EXTRA thick. If you donā€™t have time to let your bread dry out thatā€™s totally fine. You can always cut it up into sticks and pop them in the oven for 10 minutes at 350 degrees. Itā€™s a quick trick that will yield a similar result. That way you wonā€™t end up with soggy, droopy french toast.

Whisk up the egg/pumpkin mixture really good, then dip the sticks in, one at a time until they’re fully coated. You’ll want to let them drip for a minute so that they don’t puddle in the pan.

Pop them onto a hot buttered griddle or skillet and cook on all sides until golden brown. Remove them one at a time and immediately roll in the cinnamon sugar mixture. You want to this while they’re still piping hot so that the mixture sticks. Grab some warm syrup and they’re ready to go!
