How to Make Pumpkin French Toast
In a large bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, eggs, milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, salt, and optional brown sugar until smooth.
Warm a skillet over medium heat, adding butter or oil until it melts.
Dip each slice of thick bread into the pumpkin batter, ensuring it's fully coated.
Place the coated bread slices carefully in the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes until golden brown; gently flip and repeat on the other side.
Stack the French toast on a plate, drizzle generously with maple syrup, and finish with powdered sugar and nuts.
