Just in time for fall, we’re giving a seasonal upgrade to one of our favorite at-home brunch staples: French toast. We made ours extra special by mixing in farm-fresh pumpkin purée that we rescued ourselves. Nature made this batch of pumpkins slightly too sweet for your traditional purée, but we think it’s all the more perfect for using as a base for sweet treats like pies, cookies, and yes, French toast. Stock up on our rescued pumpkin purée to use in your next autumn-y brunch spread.

Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 3/4 cup canned pumpkin purée
- 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Will this work with gluten free bread? This recipe sounds delicious!
You most certainly can, Cindy! We hope you enjoy. ????
This was a hit in my home tonight with both the adults & the kids! I Love the pumpkin addition, it gave it some nice extra flavor but it wasn’t too pumpkiny. Highly recommend!!
Yay!! ???? We’re so thrilled you and your family loved it, Kristin. ????????????
is the pumpkin puree organic?
Hi, Shelley! Fantastic question. At this time we only carry conventional pumpkin puree. If you have any further questions please don’t hesitate to reach out! ????
These sound so good!! I plan to add these items to my grocery list so I can try them!
???? We hope you enjoy, Tracy!
I am going to tweak this recipe to make it eggless and non-dairy for my intolerant tummy. It will be fabulous, I’m sure

Yeah pumpkin and French toast. So many people mock pumpkin time but I love it collecting recipes for year round.
We completely agree! ????????
Could I use Lactaid milk in this? I also can’t enjoy regular milk?
You should be able to, Francine! We would love to hear your thoughts about the recipe if you make it! ????
Funny I ordered, you took my money, my order was suppose to arrive today and I stayed home ALL day waiting on it. No delivery. Thanks for ripping me off. Gee was I stupid to believe this was real. Now we have to go to the food bank. Thanks.

Why do I have to give a credit card number BEFORE I see pricing or decide if I want order anything??? Makes me highly suspicious of organization and products.
