How to Make Pumpkin French Toast

Begin by adding the eggs, almond milk, pumpkin purée, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice to a square baking dish.

Whisk all of the ingredients together until combined.

Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat until hot. Lightly coat the surface with cooking spray to prevent the slices from sticking.

Dip a slice of bread into the pumpkin mixture making sure to coat both sides.

Place the bread in a skillet and allow each slice to cook undisturbed for about 3-4 minutes or until the underside turns golden brown and slightly crispy.

Using a spatula, gently flip the slice of bread and continue cooking on the other side for another 3-4 minutes. Adjust the heat as necessary to avoid burning and ensure even cooking.

If cooking in batches, keep the finished slices warm by placing them on a baking sheet in a low oven (about 200°F) until all slices are ready. This will help maintain their crispness and ensure they’re served hot.

Occasionally, you might need to reapply cooking spray to the skillet to maintain a non-stick surface, especially if cooking multiple batches. Pay attention to the skillet’s temperature, as it can change with prolonged use.

Once all slices are cooked, you’re ready to serve. Move the finished French toast directly to plates or a serving platter. They should be hot, crisp on the outside, and soft on the inside, making for a perfect autumn breakfast treat.

Serving Suggestions

For a classic touch, a light dusting of powdered sugar can add just the right amount of sweetness without piling on the points. If you prefer syrup, opt for a sugar-free variety to keep it Weight Watchers-friendly.

Fresh fruit is another excellent addition; try topping your French toast with sliced bananas, strawberries, or blueberries. Or you can serve it with a big bowl of fruit salad.

For those who enjoy a bit of crunch, consider sprinkling chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts on top. They provide a delightful texture and a hint of nuttiness that pairs wonderfully with the pumpkin and spices.

If you’re looking for a bit of indulgence, a dollop of light whipped cream or a spoonful of Greek yogurt can add creaminess and enhance the overall experience without significantly increasing the point value.
