Pumpkin French Toast
Pumpkin is something we mostly think of in the fall, but you know what? It’s great to enjoy it all year!
Fall in love with this hearty breakfast all year round with our scrumptious Pumpkin French Toast recipe!
While pumpkin is often associated with autumn, its delicious flavor and impressive nutritional benefits make it a fantastic addition to your meals & snacks any time of the year.
Our twist on classic French toast combines the warmth of pumpkin spice with the sweetness of maple syrup, creating a mouthwatering and satisfying breakfast treat that’s perfect for cozy mornings with family and friends.
🍯Sweetness factor is a very personal taste preference, so you may want to use more or less pure maple syrup or raw honey depending on YOUR specific taste preferences.
🎃There are SO MANY reasons to add pumpkin to your diet – it’s loaded with vitamins, minerals, and plant compounds that are good for you.
PLUS … it’s low in calories and tastes great.
Here are just a few of pumpkin’s benefits: it’s good for your vision and immune health, and it may even help reduce your risk of cancer!
Pumpkin also protects your heart, lungs, and kidneys, helps battle high blood pressure, and it’s good for your skin.
Eating pumpkin can keep us looking young thanks to beta-carotene that helps protect us from the sun’s wrinkle-causing UV rays = younger-looking skin.

🧡Pumpkin pie filling and pumpkin puree often sit in cans or cartons right next to each other on the grocery store shelf. It can be easy to grab one, thinking it is the other because the two products look very similar.
However, they are *VERY* different products!
Pumpkin Puree (that can also be made at home very easily) should list ONLY Pumpkin on the ingredients label.
Pumpkin pie filling usually has many ingredients, one of which is lots of SUGAR.
🎃Homemade Pumpkin Puree
🥛Use ANY unsweetened/plain milk of your choice.
My personal favorite for this recipe is unsweetened coconut milk or cashew milk.
Any unsweetened nut milk, coconut milk, or high-quality grass-fed cow’s milk/cream all work really well here. Use what you personally like and have on hand.
🍞 Have you ever had SPROUTED GRAIN BREAD like Ezekiel before?
You’ve probably seen it in the frozen food section at your grocery store because that’s where it’s typically kept.
💡You might have wondered if it was really that different from the “regular” bread on the bakery shelf.
✅ In a word: YES!
Sprouted grain bread is made from grains (seeds) that have begun to germinate or sprout.
This process boosts the bread’s nutrition profile AND makes it easier for your body to digest its nutrients.
The whole grains are usually combined with legumes (beans), which opens the door to a long list of nutrients not found in regular bread.
Plus, the sprouting process breaks down the starches in grains, which means lower carbs and gluten … but MORE fiber and protein.
🧡 They are also higher in vitamins B, C, and E, as well as folate and antioxidants like beta-carotene.
Are you a fan of sprouted grain bread – and if so, what’s your favorite brand?👇
