Pumpkin French Toast
With Fall around the corner, what’s better than Pumpkin French Toast Sticks? They’re quick, easy, and loaded with warm pumpkin pie spices — the perfect breakfast treat! This recipe is simple to make and I made enough for two servings.
These French Toast Sticks were the PERFECT breakfast for just me:) Kevin said he will have some later and Jace is at school but in choosing between French Toast or Pancakes, I will always pick French Toast first:) I like the crispiness of the French toast compared to the softness of a pancake.
This recipe was inspired by Janie Ippolito for Hawaiian Roll Pumpkin French Toast.
• Total cooking time: Less than 10 minutes
• Family friendly: Absolutely (my teen loves these)
• Difficulty level: Easy/Intermediate
• Topping suggestions: I served mine with a *Sugar Free Syrup with a side of Fage yogurt topped with Pumpkin Pie Spice, *Sugar Free Smuckers Sundae Caramel topping, and chocolate chips. I also dipped my French Toast in it and it was a healthier version of whipped cream. You can also top with nuts for a crunch or cinnamon for additional flavor. Feel free to get creative with your own toppings
