  1. Prepare the Pumpkin Pie French Toast Batter:
    • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, pumpkin purée, brown sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves until smooth and well combined. 🥚🎃✨
  2. Dip the Bread:
    • Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a bit of butter or oil. 🧈🔥
    • Dip each slice of bread into the pumpkin batter, making sure it’s fully coated. Allow any excess batter to drip off. 🍞🍂
  3. Cook the French Toast:
    • Place the coated bread slices onto the hot skillet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. 🍳🍞✨
    • Remove the French toast from the skillet and keep warm while you make the pumpkin syrup.
  4. Make the Homemade Pumpkin Syrup:
    • In a small saucepan, combine the pumpkin purée, maple syrup, water, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and vanilla extract. 🎃🍁🍂
    • Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the syrup thickens slightly (about 5-7 minutes). 🍲🔥
    • Remove from heat and let it cool slightly before serving. The syrup will thicken as it cools.
  5. Serve:
    • Stack your Pumpkin Pie French Toast on a plate, drizzle generously with the homemade pumpkin syrup, and top with whipped cream or a dusting of powdered sugar if desired. 🍽️🍁✨
    • Garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon or chopped nuts for extra crunch. 🌰🍂

🍽️ Serving Suggestions

  • Add Toppings: Try adding sliced bananas, toasted pecans, or a dollop of Greek yogurt for a delicious twist. 🍌🥥
  • Side Dish Ideas: Serve with a side of crispy bacon or fresh fruit to balance the sweetness. 🥓🍇

💡 Tips & Variations

  • Make it Dairy-Free: Use almond milk or coconut milk in the batter, and coconut oil for frying. 🥥
  • Spice it Up: If you love extra spice, add a pinch of cardamom or allspice to the batter for more depth. 🌿
  • Storage: Leftover French toast can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days or frozen for up to a month. Reheat in a toaster oven for a crispy texture. ❄️🍞
