Pumpkin French Toast Bake
This Pumpkin French Toast Bake is a guest post from my friend Stacey from This Lil Piglet. For more amazing recipes like this, please visit her blog.
I love pumpkin, a lot. My new favorite thing to do is to head to Starbucks on Fridays, while my son as at school, to work in peace and treat myself to a PSL. Those Pumpkin Spice Latte’s get me every time.
OUR LATEST VIDEOSPumpkin lattes are great (like this iced pumpkin spice latte), but real pumpkin-based desserts are even better. Stacey uses many of my favorite ingredients in this pumpkin french toast inspired recipe:
- bread x12 (I love me some bread. I’m a carb queen! What can I say, bread makes me happy).
- pumpkin
- maple syrup (pure maple syrup guys, not the fake stuff).
- pecans
- cream cheese
- cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla
Basically, this is the breakfast of my dreams.
I know this recipe is categorized as breakfast, but I’m pretty sure this would make one awesome dessert. Or lunch…or dinner…
