Easy Healthy Pumpkin French Toast 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 SmartPoints value. Decrease the SmartPoints by 3 if you substitute reduced calorie bread.
Though the recipe is written to serve to it can be easily multiplied to serve more.
No Pumpkin Pie Spice? In a small bowl, whisk together 1-½ tablespoons ground cinnamon, 2 teaspoons ground ginger, ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg, and ½ teaspoon ground cloves until well blended. Store in a small airtight jar.
What Should I Serve with Pumpkin Pie French Toast?
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.
