# Ingredient List:

→ Batter

01 - 1/2 cup canned pumpkin puree
02 - 4 large eggs, whisked
03 - 2/3 cup whole milk
04 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
05 - 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
06 - 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
07 - 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

→ Bread

08 - 12 slices thick-cut white bread, such as challah or brioche

# Preparation Steps:

01 - In a medium bowl or shallow dish, combine pumpkin puree, whisked eggs, milk, vanilla extract, sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
02 - Whisk the ingredients together until the mixture is completely smooth.
03 - Heat a frying pan over low-medium heat or preheat a griddle to 350°F.
04 - Lightly coat the pan or griddle with oil or cooking spray.
05 - Submerge one slice of bread in the pumpkin mixture, making sure both sides are coated. Gently shake off any excess batter.
06 - Place the dipped bread onto the hot pan or griddle. Cook for 2 to 4 minutes on one side until golden brown, then flip and cook the other side until both are golden and the bread begins to puff.
07 - Repeat the dipping and cooking process with the remaining slices, adjusting heat as needed to avoid burning.
08 - Serve immediately, topped with syrup and whipped cream as desired.
