Make the Pumpkin Bread

1. Make the pumpkin bread* (in advance) according to the directions in the linked recipe so that it is ready before you plan to make the French toast. If short on time, use a store-bought loaf of pumpkin bread.

Make the French Toast

1. Cut a loaf of pumpkin bread into 1-inch slices. You’ll need 10-12 slices for this recipe.
2. Add the eggs, milk, vanilla and ground cinnamon to a shallow dish and whisk together to combine. Set aside.
3. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and melt about a 1/2 tablespoon of butter.
4. Quickly dip one side of a slice of pumpkin bread into the egg mixture. Then flip the bread and dip the opposite side. You don’t need to let it soak in the egg mixture – just a quick dip on each side should do it.
5. Immediately place the bread into the preheated skillet and cook until golden brown on both sides.
6. Repeat dipping process with remaining pumpkin bread slices. Melt additional butter in the skillet before cooking a new round of slices. (If your skillet has room, cook more than one slice at a time. I can usually get two or three slices in my skillet at once.)
7. Serve warm. Top with butter, maple syrup or any other toppings you like.
