Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 4–6 slices of sturdy bread (whole wheat or sourdough)
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 cup plant-based milk
  • 1–2 teaspoons natural gelling agent
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
  • Maple syrup (natural), for drizzling

Optional Savory Additions

  • Smoked turkey bacon (optional)
  • Smoked turkey slices (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pumpkin Custard Mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, plant-based milk, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla extract (natural), and the natural gelling agent until smooth and homogenous. This mixture forms the spiced custard base for soaking the bread.
  2. Soak the Bread: Dip each bread slice into the pumpkin custard mixture, coating both sides fully but avoiding oversaturation to prevent sogginess.
  3. Cook the French Toast: Heat a lightly oiled skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place each soaked bread slice on the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and slightly crisp on the edges.
  4. Add Savory Sides: If desired, warm smoked turkey bacon or smoked turkey slices in a separate pan to serve alongside the pumpkin French toast.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Plate the French toast slices, drizzle with natural maple syrup, and garnish with your favorite toppings such as fresh berries or toasted nuts for a complete breakfast.

Notes

  • Choose bread slices about one inch thick to hold the custard well without falling apart.
  • Season the custard generously with cinnamon and nutmeg for authentic warmth and flavor.
  • Ensure the skillet or griddle is preheated before cooking to develop an even golden crust without sogginess.
  • Dissolve the natural gelling agent fully in the custard for a smooth texture and proper setting.
  • Allow each side of the French toast to cook fully before flipping to avoid tearing.
