How to Make Skinny Pumpkin Pie French Toast, Step- by Step
Step 1: Gather and prep your ingredients.
Step 2: Soak your bread and cook in a heated skillet until lightly browned, flipping once.
Recipe Notes
French toast is actually better when the bread is a little old/stale. Alternatively you can let it dry out for several hours or overnight.
The kind of bread you choose will affect the WW Points value. Decrease the Points by 3 if you substitute reduced calorie bread.
Though the recipe is written to serve two, it can be easily multiplied to serve more.
Substitutions
No Pumpkin Pie Spice?
In a small bowl (affiliate link), whisk together 1-1/2 tablespoons ground cinnamon, 2 teaspoons ground ginger, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves until well blended. Store in a small airtight jar.
Serving Suggestions
We enjoyed our pumpkin pie french toast, topped with a drizzle of maple syrup with bacon alongside. Turkey bacon, sausage, or turkey sausage would all be good. This would also be great with sliced fried apples, warm pear apple compote, or your favorite fruit salad.
