Pumpkin Spice French Toast
Ingredients:
- 6 eggs
- 1 cup milk
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 ½ tsp vanilla
- ½ cup canned pumpkin
- 1 loaf (12-16 slices) of sourdough bread
- Maple syrup, butter, and chopped pecans
You’ll also need:
- Medium bowl
- Whisk
- Measuring cups/spoons
- Griddle
- Spatula
- Nonstick spray
Let’s get going!
- Turn on flat top griddle to medium heat and coat with nonstick spray.
- Whisk together in a bowl until smooth: eggs, milk, brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice, salt, vanilla, and pumpkin.
- Dunk bread into egg mixture quickly to coat on both sides and place on griddle. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side until brown. Remove from heat and top with butter, sprinkle with pecans, and drizzle with maple syrup.
Pro tip: Hate soggy French toast? You’re not alone – but it’s an easy fix! Just don’t use regular sliced bread or even Texas toast. Instead, use sourdough bread because it’s naturally a denser, dryer bread. The egg mixture will moisten it enough to let it get a crispy coating, but won’t make it soggy.
Prefer pancakes to French toast? Here’s an easy variation to try – and it contains a lot of the above ingredients!
Pumpkin Spice Pancakes
Ingredients:
- 1 ½ cups milk
- 1 cup canned pumpkin
- 1 egg
- 2 Tbs vegetable oil
- 2 Tbs vinegar
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 3 Tbs brown sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 2 heaping tsp pumpkin pie spice
- ½ tsp salt
- Butter, maple syrup, and chopped pecans for serving
You’ll also need:
- 2 medium bowls
- Whisk
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Griddle
- Spatula
- Nonstick spray
It’s pancake time!
- Mix together in a bowl: milk, pumpkin, egg, oil, and vinegar. In a separate bowl, combine all dry ingredients listed from flour through salt. Whisk gently into wet ingredients just until combined.
- Heat the griddle to medium heat and spray with nonstick spray. Pour pancake batter onto griddle (about a quarter cup per pancake). Cook until brown on both sides, flipping as needed.
- Serve with butter, pecans, and maple syrup.
These two pumpkin camp recipes use most of the same ingredients and tools, so you can enjoy different-but-similar breakfasts two days in a row without having a lot of random or leftover ingredients. As a plan-ahead tip, combine premeasured dry ingredients and spices in a food storage bag and pour straight into your wet ingredient mix – your griddle will be hot and ready by the time you’re done whisking!
