Ingredients
- 1 ½ teaspoons vegetable oil, or as needed
- ½ cup half-and-half

Reviews
Mild pumpkin flavor that is complimented by the walnuts and other ingredients. I thought the flavor was nice for a change from the usual French toast. I used Challah bread and would make it again.
I didn’t use half n half (didn’t have any). I used Vanilla Coffee Creamer instead. Also, used pecans instead of walmuts (same reason). It was delicious!!!
Tripled the ingredients, added one additional egg (3), 15oz can of pumpkin, extra vanilla. Used Texas toast.
Excellent. one of the best French toast recipes. Thick sliced Texas toast style bread works great for this.
Easy & delicious! My husband loved it. He said it is so ice to have something different once in a while. Differently will be serving this again.
I would suggest a little sugar to sweeten up pumpkin mix. Use whip cream for topping.
Yes, very good! I just used a heaping teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice rather than cinnamon. I didn’t put nuts in the batter but rather topped the french toast with pecans before serving. You could definitely taste the pumpkin pie spice, but not really the pumpkin puree. It was still a nice, rich treat though!
Great flavor, this was a great way to start my day. This French toast recipe was simple and delicious.
This was wonderful with sour dough bread! Served with bacon! Lots of bacon! I also used almond milk to make it non dairy.
The pumpkin flavor did not come through with these. Tasted a little bland.
Great tasting recipe. I made it exactly the way the recipe says and it was liked by all! I will be making it again this weekend.
My son and I made it as stated, however, we will omit the nuts next time. This is definitely a go to recipe. Thanks for sharing it.
Wonderful with real maple syrup!
Love! Pumpkin spice heaven
I made this for Thanksgiving breakfast and the only thing right is add more pumpkin spice/cinnamon, perhaps a bit more pumpkin. We loved it and what we had leftover, I bagged and froze. Easy to put in toaster and yum.
supplement to my original review.. maybe use pumpkin bread….that would surely give a full pumpkin flavor..good luck
Absolutely delicious!
I found the mixture so thick it was hard to get a clean sear on the toast. I tried it several times in different pans and heat levels. I just couldn’t get on board with this. My family says the taste is “fine”. Fine is not a compliment to me when cooking
It is amazing! I froze leftovers and take them to work…everyone is jealous! Guess I’ll have to make some for an office breakfast
A keeper! Fantastic french toast!
I made as it minus the pumpkin pie seasoning, I really think that would have been too much spice and taken away from the pumpkin flavor. Definitely will be making these again!!
