For the Batter
  • 2 large Eggs Provide structure and protein; use large eggs for optimal binding and richness.

  • 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon Adds a warm flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Creates depth of flavor; opt for pure extract for the best results.
For the Bread
  • 4 slices Whole Wheat Bread Serves as the base, providing fiber and nutrients; can replace with white, sourdough, or brioche as needed.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large shallow bowl, crack open 2 large eggs and beat them until well combined. Add in 1 cup of pumpkin puree, ½ cup of milk, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Whisk thoroughly for about 2-3 minutes until smooth and lump-free.
  2. Cut 4 slices of whole wheat bread into long strips, about 1-2 inches wide, ensuring they are ready for soaking.
  3. Immerse each bread strip into the pumpkin mixture for about 10-15 seconds on each side, then let them rest on a paper towel to catch excess mixture.
  4. Heat a large frying pan on medium-low, add 2 tablespoons of coconut oil, and ensure it coats the bottom evenly.
  5. Place the soaked bread strips in a single layer in the frying pan, cooking for about 2-3 minutes until golden brown before flipping and cooking the other side.
  6. Remove the French toast strips from the pan and serve immediately, optionally garnished with fresh fruit or pure maple syrup.
