You thought (hoped?) I was done with pumpkin recipes, didn’t you? I thought so too, but yesterday morning, when the kids asked for French toast, I couldn’t resist. French toast is always good, but pumpkin French toast is especially delicious and pleasantly fragrant, thanks to the pumpkin and the spices.
Makes 4 servings
New quantity:
Total time: 20 minutes
Prep: 10 minutes
Cook: 10 minutes
Ingredients
1 large egg
1/2 cup reduced-fat milk
1/2 cup pure pumpkin puree
1 tablespoon whole-wheat flour
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon cloves
4 slices whole-wheat sandwich bread, cut in half on the diagonal
Butter-flavored cooking spray
1/4 cup maple syrup
Directions
1. In a shallow, 9 X 13 baking dish, whisk together the egg, milk, pumpkin puree, flour, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves, until mixture is smooth. Place the bread slices in the dish and allow them to soak the mixture, 2 minutes on each side.
2. After turning the bread slices to the second side, heat a double-burner griddle or two large skillets over medium heat, about 3 minutes.
3. Spray the hot griddle with butter-flavored spray. Cook the coated bread slices until golden-brown, about 3 minutes. Using a spatula, remove onto a plate, spray the griddle again, then return the bread slices to the griddle to cook about 3 more minutes on the second side.
4. Serve immediately, with warm maple syrup.
