Ingredients

For Topping:

  • 1/2 cup butter - softened
  • 1/4 cup plus 2 additional Tablespoons Amaretto
  • 1 cup maple syrup
  • bananas and walnuts to taste

Pumpkin French Toast:

  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup canned pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 Tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 3/4 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 dash salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 8 slices day-old bread*
  • butter - for frying

Instructions

First make Amaretto Butter:

  • by combining the 1/2 cup butter with 2 Tablespoons of Amaretto.

Then make the Amaretto Syrup:

  • In small saucepan, combine 1/4 cup Amaretto with the maple syrup. Heat to boiling. Allow to cool before serving. These will be your toppings.

Pumpkin French Toast:

  • * French bread is my favorite as it really absorbs the egg mixture. Standard white or wheat slices work fine as long as they're slightly dry.
  • In a medium bowl, beat the eggs. Add the pumpkin, milk, cinnamon, vanilla, salt and nutmeg and continue to beat until well combined. Transfer mixture to a shallow baking pan big enough to fit 2 slices of bread face-down.
  • Place a skillet or large frying pan over medium heat. Melt about 2 teaspoons of butter for batch of French toast.
  • Place bread slices in the egg mixture and coat each side for 10 or 15 seconds. Use a spatula to remove if bread gets too soggy. Transfer the slices two at a time (more if your skillet has room) to the heated pan. Fry each side of the bread to a golden-orangish-brown - 2 to 4 minutes per side.
  • Add additional butter to the frying pan as needed to complete remaining batches.
  • Serve warm with the Amaretto butter and Amaretto syrup.
  • Add chopped bananas and walnuts to taste.

      Thank you so much for the feature Kerryanne! You made me smile this morning. I hope you enjoy the french toast as much as we do at my home. Enjoy this brisk fall day. At least here in Michigan.

    Oh my word, that looks amazing. French toast is one of those things that I always go for if it’s available on a hotel breakfast buffet as I love it so much. But I never make it at home. I think I’m afraid it will become a regular thing and that might not be very good for my waist line! I could imagine making this for a special occasion breakfast treat though – yum!
