Hey everyone! Amanda back from Old House to New Home sharing a delicious Pumpkin French Toast recipe with brown sugar and cinnamon butter. That’s a mouthful, but the butter is so good in this recipe that it deserved a place in the title!

Pumpkin French Toast

Pumpkin and apple recipes are truly king right now and I couldn’t be happier :) I absolutely love fall flavors and love incorporating them into our favorite recipes. My favorite fall breakfast has always been Pumpkin Pie Pancakes, but our Pumpkin Banana Bread and Homemade Pumpkin Butter are always big hits too. Oh, and our Pumpkin Streusel Muffins are for sure a new crowd pleaser.  Check out all of our pumpkin recipes.

I don’t often make French Toast because my husband isn’t a fan, but recently, I set out to change his mind! After some experimentation, I found two fool proof tips to make any french toast hater a new fan. My husband always complained that he didn’t like how soggy the bread got, so I set out to combat the sogginess.

I replaced my normal bread with brioche in this recipe, which is so much heartier and can withstand the quick soak in the batter. You could also use challah or another hearty bread. I know some recipes recommend soaking your bread for a few minutes, but we prefer just a quick dip.

The bread type makes a big difference, but the true secret tip here is…flour! Adding a couple of tablespoons of flour to the batter helps you get a nice coat on the bread, without all the sogginess!

steps for making brown sugar cinnamon butter

We have to dedicate a moment here to the butter. This brown sugar and cinnamon butter would make a piece of cardboard taste delicious!

I have another tip here for you. After preparing the butter, throw it in the fridge or freezer while you make the french toast. This lets it harden up a little, so when you put it on the hot french toast, it doesn’t immediately melt.

Instead, it slowly soaks into the bread and lets you get a little bit of butter in each bite!

Here is a step by step photo tutorial to show you just how easy this recipe is to throw together.

    This may sound dumb, considering it is French toast we’re talking about, but is it possible to make it without eggs? I know this may be a dumb question! 😬

      I have made it with egg whites, but never without eggs completely. If you try it let me know how it goes!
