Pumpkin French Toast

This pumpkin French toast is so delicious, with the warm spices of cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger mixed in with pumpkin puree and milk, whisked to perfection, then dip your bread in this amazing mixture, then top it off with butter and warm maple syrup, then if desired top it off with some pecans or walnuts for an extra crunch.

This French toast is perfect for any fall morning breakfast, or a perfect Thanksgiving breakfast or brunch. It cant get any better than this, I love the flavors of this French toast and I am sure you will all enjoy as much as I do. I like to use a thicker bread instead of sandwich bread because it holds up better.
