Pumpkin French Toast

Our Wi-Fi was down this weekend....so we are starting the week with a recipe!   I will try and get a project post in tomorrow....


My boys could eat french toast EVERY morning if we let them!  I have come up with several variations to make french toast 1. a little better for us and 2. tasty and different.  Here is our fall variation, Pumpkin French Toast!

ingredients:

• 1 loaf of sliced bread (the better the bread, the better the french toast!  Our favorite is a local bakery's flax seed walnut bread!)
• 1/2 C pumpkin puree (canned or fresh)
• 4 eggs (if you use 2 eggs and 2 egg whites, that works too!)
• 1/3 C milk
• 1 t pumpkin pie spice
• topping of choice

directions:

Mix the pumpkin with the eggs, milk and spice.  Preheat a non -stick skillet on medium heat.  Coat a slice of bread with the egg mixture and place in the skillet.  From here, make it like you would regular french toast.  Cook about 4 minutes on each side.  Serve with your choice of toppings (our favorites are syrup, butter & powdered sugar, apples and Greek yogurt, or whipped cream and crushed walnuts).
