Pumpkin French Toast Sticks are a delightful twist on a classic breakfast favorite, featuring toasted French bread dipped in a spiced pumpkin egg mixture, then rolled in cinnamon sugar. Perfect for fall mornings or a cozy weekend brunch, these crispy, flavorful sticks are easy to make and pair wonderfully with maple syrup or butter.

Ingredients

Scale

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

Cinnamon Sugar Coating

  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • Butter, for cooking
  • Maple syrup, for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the skillet: Set a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a small amount of butter. Allow the butter to melt, coating the pan evenly to prevent sticking and aid browning.
  2. Make the egg mixture: In a small rectangular baking dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, pumpkin puree, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice until fully combined and smooth.
  3. Dip the bread slices: Take each piece of bread and dip it into the pumpkin egg mixture, ensuring both sides are well coated but not soaked to sogginess.
  4. Cook the French toast sticks: Place the coated bread pieces onto the hot skillet. Cook for about 2 minutes on each side or until the bread turns a beautiful golden brown and is cooked through.
  5. Prepare the cinnamon sugar: In a separate small baking dish, combine the sugar and cinnamon, stirring well to mix evenly.
  6. Coat the cooked sticks: Immediately after removing the French toast sticks from the skillet, roll them in the cinnamon sugar mixture so the coating sticks while the fries are still warm.
  7. Serve: Serve the pumpkin French toast sticks hot with maple syrup or additional butter if desired for extra flavor and moisture.

Notes

  • Use brioche or French bread for the best texture and flavor.
  • Make sure not to soak the bread too long in the egg mixture to avoid sogginess.
  • Feel free to adjust cinnamon and pumpkin pie spice for taste variations.
  • Serve immediately for optimal crispness; leftovers may be reheated in a toaster oven.
  • Maple syrup adds a perfect sweet touch but is optional depending on preference.
