Pumpkin French Toast

One of my favorite things about this time of year is all of the yummy pumpkin recipes there are to try. So when I came across this recipe on Pinterest, I knew I had to try it. It did not disappoint. The pumpkin wasn't overwhelming but there was a hint of it and it was really good.



Pumpkin French Toast

3 eggs
1/4 cup pumpkin puree
1-3 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
pinch of nutmeg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 - 6 slices bread
Pecans, chopped
maple syrup

In a large shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, pumpkin puree, milk, cinnamon, nutmeg and vanilla. Place the slices of bread into the egg mixture and let soak while the pan heats up [3-5minutes].
Spray skillet with non-stick spray in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place bread into the pan and cook until golden brown on 1 side, approx. 2-3 minutes. Turn the slices over and cook until golden brown, 2-3 minutes longer. Top with pecans and maple syrup. Enjoy!
