Ingredients
- 6 large eggs, room temperature
- ½ cup unsweetened milk of choice
- ½ cup pure pumpkin puree
- 2 Tbsps pure maple syrup or raw honey, plus more to serve
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract

Instructions
- In a shallow pie plate, beat the eggs, milk, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, vanilla, pumpkin spice, and sea salt together until smooth.
- Preheat a skillet over medium heat, and drizzle with a bit of coconut oil or butter.
