Pumpkin French Toast Recipe: Spice Up Your Morning

Pumpkin French Toast Recipe

I enjoy creating my own unique recipes, and I am always trying to find ways to add vitamins and fiber into recipes. The best way to get your kids to eat healthily is to hide in their food! My mother made me this cherished recipe book one year for Christmas. It is full of recipes handed down from my mother, my father (both great cooks), and my grandparents. My daughter LOVES to get the book out. Just recently we gave it a facelift with some cute baking-themed accessories. Over the years I’ve added my own recipes like this delicious version of pumpkin french toast.

All great pumpkin recipes begin with Libby’s Pumpkin, including this Pumpkin French Toast. When fall comes around my mind automatically goes to pumpkin. We have some great pumpkin recipes here at Shibley Smiles such as:

• Pumpkin Pie Protein Smoothie
• Glazed Pumpkin Raisins Cookies
• Pumpkin Pasta Sauce

Pumpkin is a great source of fiber, has lots of Vitamin A, and is full of beta-carotene. It can be used as a substitute for butter, eggs, or oil in many of your favorite recipes saving fat and calories. Sounds like a win-win for pumpkin french toast lovers!

Fall may make you think of pumpkin but pumpkin can be used all year long. Don’t wait until the fall season to enjoy this Pumpkin French Toast recipe. Also, when you don’t use all of the pumpkin you can store the remainder in the freezer to use at a later time. The Pumpkin French Toast was a big hit this year, especially with the kids. I think we may have just created a new family tradition but Shhh we don’t want the kids to know it is good for them too.
