Ingredients

Scale

For the French Toast Sticks

  • 1 loaf French bread or brioche, cut into 1” thick slices, then into thirds
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2/3 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice

For the Cinnamon Sugar Coating

  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • Butter, for cooking (about 1 tbsp)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the skillet: Set a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a small amount of butter. Allow it to melt completely to ensure the French toast sticks don’t stick and get a golden crust.
  2. Make the batter: In a small rectangular baking dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, pumpkin puree, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice until smooth and fully combined.
  3. Dip the bread: Dip each bread stick into the pumpkin-egg mixture, making sure to coat all sides, then flip to coat evenly.
  4. Cook the French toast sticks: Place the coated bread sticks onto the hot skillet and cook for about 2 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.
  5. Prepare cinnamon sugar: While the French toast is cooking, mix the sugar and cinnamon together in a small baking dish and set aside.
  6. Coat and serve: Remove the cooked French toast sticks from the skillet and immediately roll them in the cinnamon sugar mixture. Serve hot with maple syrup or buttered pecan syrup for a delicious finish.

Notes

  • Use brioche for a richer, softer texture or French bread for a sturdier bite.
  • For extra crispiness, cook French toast sticks in a lightly oiled skillet instead of butter.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and reheat in a toaster oven for best results.
  • Feel free to add a pinch of nutmeg or ground ginger to the batter for added spice complexity.
  • These sticks can be frozen after cooking; reheat in the oven or toaster before serving.
