Ingredients

1 loaf French bread or brioche, cut into 1" thick bread slices, then into thirds
4 large eggs
2/3 cup milk
1/2 cup pumpkin puree
1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp pumpkin pie spice

For the Coating

1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

Instructions

Set a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add a small amount of butter and melt. Or use a large griddle and butter it once hot.
In a small rectangular baking dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, pumpkin puree, vanilla, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice.
Dip each piece of bread into the mixture, flip sides, and then place on the hot skillet (or griddle). Cook until each side is golden brown, about 2 minutes per side.
Meanwhile, in another small rectangular baking dish, combine the sugar and cinnamon. Set aside.
Remove the fully cooked French toast sticks from the skillet and immediately roll in the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Serve hot with maple syrup or buttered pecan syrup.

Notes

STORE leftover Pumpkin Spice French Toast in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. For longer storage, FREEZE them in a single layer on a baking sheet until firm, then transfer them to a resealable freezer-safe bag—good for up to 2 months.

To REHEAT, warm them in a toaster oven or regular oven at 175°C (350 degrees Fahrenheit) for about 5–8 minutes until heated through. You can also use the microwave in 30-second bursts, though they’ll be softer.
