Pumpkin Puree – This recipe uses real pumpkin puree, not just pumpkin spice seasoning. It helps to elevate the flavor of the French toast even more.
Freezer Friendly – You can freeze any leftovers you don’t eat. Just flash freeze the French toast and then freeze for 2-3 months. Then you can warm up in the microwave, or even oven or toaster.

Bread – We used Texas toast as it is a thicker sliced bread. Just make sure the bread you use is thicker and firmer, or it can become too soggy when dipped. Dry bread is best when it comes to making French toast.
Butter – How can you make French toast without it! Right?
Vanilla, Egg and Milk – The base of the mixture to dip your bread in.
Pumpkin Puree – Adds a nice pumpkin flavor to the bread. Make sure to not mistake it for pumpkin pie mix.
