Ingredients
  

1 cup canned pumpkin puree

2 large eggs

1/2 cup milk (choice of dairy or non-dairy)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (or a blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger)

1 tablespoon brown sugar (optional, adjust to taste)

8 slices of thick bread (such as brioche, challah, or Texas toast)

2 tablespoons butter (for cooking)

Maple syrup (for serving)

Powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Batter: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, eggs, milk, vanilla extract, pumpkin pie spice, and brown sugar until the mixture is smooth and well blended. Ensure there are no lumps for an even coating.

    Cut the Bread: Take each slice of thick bread and carefully cut it into 3 equal strips, transforming them into generous French toast sticks.

      Coat the Sticks: Submerge each bread stick into the pumpkin batter, allowing it to soak for a few seconds. Ensure they are fully coated, but be careful not to make them too soggy.

        Heat the Pan: In a large skillet or griddle, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Allow the pan to heat up adequately before adding the bread sticks.

          Cook the French Toast Sticks: Arrange the coated bread sticks in the skillet in a single layer (work in batches if necessary). Cook each side for about 3-4 minutes or until they are golden brown and have a slightly crispy exterior. If cooking in batches, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter as needed for the second batch.

            Serve: Once cooked, remove the French toast sticks from the skillet. Serve them warm, optionally dusted with powdered sugar, and accompanied by a small bowl of maple syrup for delightful dipping!

              Enjoy: Gather around the table to share these scrumptious pumpkin spice French toast sticks with loved ones, or treat yourself to this cozy autumn-inspired breakfast!
