Dairy Free Pumpkin French Toast

This Pumpkin French Toast is great for a variety of reasons, including: you can bake it in an oven, it's made with REAL pumpkin puree (like these vegan muffins), it's made with SOURDOUGH bread, and it's just so moist and delicious and tastes so yummy.

You don't *have* to make this recipe with Sourdough bread, but I really highly recommend it.

The sourness of the bread and the sweetness of the pumpkin create a really wonderful flavor.

Plus it's the (second) best bread of all time anyways, sour-duhhh.

French Toast... In an Oven?

Back to that part where I said, "you can bake it in an oven"... you read that right!

In my most humble opinion, the worst part about making French Toast (or even fluffy pancakes, for that matter), is only being able to cook a few portions at a time; the first ones get cold and the last ones get burnt because the pan is so hot! Can't win!!!

Or is it just me?

Come on, it can't be jus me!

So, I tried to bake multiple pieces of Pumpkin French Toast at once for this recipe.

Using a broiler tray to bake these in an oven was pretty genius, if I do say so ma'self. You can cook them all at the same time (well, as much as your broiler pan can handle!), and ensure that no toast is burnt!

Not sure how well this method would work with pancakes though. But I digress...

Prep Time 3 Minutes Cook Time 10 Minutes Servings Servings Ingredients Wet Ingredeints 3 Large eggs ⅓ C Pumpkin Puree ½ C almond milk Or any milk 1 teaspoon Vanilla 1 tsp Cinnamon 1 teaspoon Pumpkin Pie Spice Dry 1 16 oz Sourdough Bread Or any fresh bread!

Instructions

1. Whisk all wet ingredients together in a bowl.
2. Slice your bread. Dip each slice in mixture to coat. I suggest using tongs for this part.
3. If making on stovetop: Melt some coconut oil (or any neutral oil) in a pan on Medium/High. Cook bread until outside is crispy but not burnt, about 2 - 3 minutes per side. Make sure pan doesn't get too hot as you make the batches!
4. If making in the oven: Preheat oven to 300. Spray a broiling tray generously with coconut oil. Place slices of bread and bake for ~8 - 9 minutes, watching closely at the end to ensure they do not burn.
