Let the pumpkin train keep on going. It’s officially fall. I don’t care if my air conditioning is on. I’ve got pumpkin, and I’m just going to roll with it.
The other day I used some of my freshly made pumpkin puree to make Pumpkin Pie French Toast. It was amazing. No words can describe it. You should try it. Srsly.
Pumpkin Pie French Toast
This is just enough to dip two regular sandwich sized bread in.
1 T ground flax seed
2 T water
2 T pumpkin puree
1/4 cup almond milk
1/2 t cinnamon
1/8 t nutmeg
Dash of salt
Mix all the ingredients and dip the bread in them. Heat a pan on the stove with a little bit of futter or spray it lightly with cooking spray. Cook until brown on both sides. Top with syrup, futter, or more pumpkin! I used two slices of whole wheat sandwich like bread, because that’s all I had. Brioche, challah, or another kind of bread would be delicious with this though!
I’m drooling just thinking about it. Maybe I’ll make some for lunch. : )
I also drank coffee this morning, which is unusual for me. I normally don’t drink coffee, except when I was in college and I had to be to a 7 hour culinary lab at 5 or 6 in the morning. But even then I only drank one cup. Caffeine makes me a little fidgety. Or a lot fidgety. Or I bounce off the walls with craziness. But during my last trip to Whole Foods I spotted some So Delicious coconut milk creamer, and I wanted to try it. Its delicious. And I found some Strawberry Shortcake coffee (it’s not as gross as you think, it’s actually pretty good!) at Target, which I had been looking for for ages, then finally found it at Target of all places.
Sometimes I think I just drink coffee for the creamer. I can’t handle my coffee black. I’m one of those people that likes a splash of coffee in my milk. I’m not hardcore enough I guess.
Do you drink coffee? If you do, do you drink it black or do you use creamer/milk/sugar?
Have a great day ya’ll!
Ooh, pumpkin pie French toast — I’ve made pumpkin chai pancakes before, but this is something totally different. Looks good!
If you have extra pumpkin puree lying around, you can make pumpkin mac & cheese… last year I de-veganized (or it was almost vegan) a recipe from (neverhome)maker, and it was a really tasty, unique way to eat pumpkin!
yum that sounds amazing… I’m definitly looking up that recipe and making it! I’ve still got some puree left I need to use. Thanks for the idea!
Oh, yum! Pumpkin pie French toast sounds amazing! (Wait, Liz just said that!) Okay—what Liz said!
I’m like you. I only like a splash of coffee in my creamer. Ever since I was little, my grandma used to make me “coffee milk,” which was a tiny splash of coffee in a glass of milk. So Delicious coconut milk creamer is the best way to enjoy my “coffee milk” I’ve ever tried. The French Vanilla flavor just about bowled me over the first time I tasted it and now there’s no going back to anything else.
Pumpkin french toast? That sounds awesome. A good use for the can of pumpkin I just cracked open.
I thought I was the only person who loves that strawberry shortcake coffee. Tastes so good! And not at all fake like you’d expect. I switch between black coffee and coffee with a bit of almond milk depending on what I’m feeling like.
I’m so glad you like the coffee too! Everyone I talk about it to thinks it’s odd to mix the strawberry flavor with coffee, but you’re right, it’s not what you’d expect.
This looks ridiculously good! I’m a huge french toast fan and have a few delish recipes on my blog but I am loving how you incorporated pumpkin!
This looks so yummy and perfect for fall! Thanks for sharing!
I like the idea of using pumpkin instead of eggs… Im gonna make that on a cold fall morning:-)
