- 1. Prepare the Custard Mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, eggs, milk, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- 2. Soak the Bread: Dip each slice of bread into the custard mixture, ensuring both sides are well-coated. Let them soak for about one minute.
- 3. Preheat Your Pan: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a pat of butter until it melts and bubbles.
- 4. Cook the French Toast: Place soaked bread slices in the skillet one at a time. Cook for about three minutes on each side or until golden brown.

- 6. Serve and Enjoy: Transfer your pumpkin French toast onto plates and drizzle generously with maple syrup. Optionally sprinkle with powdered sugar or top with whipped cream.
