Vegan Pumpkin French Toast

I had another batch of pumpkin cornbread but no soup to finish it up with. Oh well, we could have finished it up as is (its so good!), but I decided to make pumpkin french toasts with it.

The Pumpkin french toast batter has generous amount of pumpkin puree and pumpkin pie spices mixed with a bit of starch and non dairy milk. The bread is soaked for a few seconds then pan fried. I love this batter with my pumpkin cinnamon swirl Sandwich bread. The combination with the pumpkin cornbread is even more delicious. Cornbread doesnt get soggy. It has pumpkin and spices already which get amplified with the pumpkin + spices in the batter. And is topped with spiced apples. Fall spices everywhere! Try not to eat these right off the skillet.

I served these with apples cooked with coconut sugar, mainly because the photos with just butter weren’t looking as fun :). These french toasts are very delicious as is!

Ingredients

  • 7 to 8 thick slices of pumpkin cornbread or 6 to 7 thick slices of pumpkin cinnamon bread or other whole grain stale bread (see notes for links)

Pumpkin French Toast Batter:

  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
  • 3/4 cup non dairy milk ((almond milk, soy milk or coconut milk))
  • 1 tbsp starch ((cornstarch or arrowroot starch))
  • 1 tbsp flour (, use rice flour to make gluten-free)
  • 2 tsp flax meal (optional)
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup or sugar
  • 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/8 tsp salt

Caramelized apples:

  • 2 small apples, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 3 tbsp coconut sugar

Instructions

  1. 1

    Mix all the ingredients under batter and let it sit for a few minutes while you heat up the skillet over medium heat.

  2. 2

    Dip the slices in the batter for a few seconds, then place on the hot skillet (sprayed with oil for cast iron or no oil if using a good non stick). Cook for 4 to 5 minutes then flip and cook for another 3 to 4 or until golden brown on both sides. Serve with maple and vegan butter or some caramelized apples

    Caramelized apples: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add apples, sugar, spices, water and a pinch of salt. Cook for 10 to 15 minutes or until the syrup thickens. Stir occasionally to avoid burning.

Notes

I make these french toasts with pumpkin cornbread or pumpkin cinnamon swirl Sandwich bread. Use any day old stale whole grain bread or sweet cornbread.
