Pumpkin French Toast Sticks – Easy Fall Breakfast Recipe

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

Step-by-Step Instructions for Perfect Pumpkin French Toast Sticks
Step #1 Preheat oven to 250 degrees. 

Step #2 Slice the Hawaiian rolls horizontally and then cut each one of those in half, long ways. 

Step #3 Bake the rolls in the oven for 3 minutes. 

Step #4 In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, maple extract, cinnamon, pumpkin puree, and pumpkin pie spice. 

Step #5 On the stove, on medium heat, add 1 tbsp butter and let it melt all the way. 

Step #6 One at a time, take one of the Hawaiian roll slices and dip it in the milk mixture, shake off the excess liquid and then add it to the hot pan. 

Step #7 Cook for 3 minutes on each side. Sprinkle with sugar free maple syrup and cinnamon. 

Storage & Reheating Tip
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave for a quick warm-up or use the air fryer for a crispier texture!
