Pumpkin Spice French Toast
Pumpkin Spice French Toast is the ultimate fall breakfast—warm, fluffy, and packed with the comforting flavors of pumpkin spice, cinnamon, and everything nice.

Imagine biting into soft, golden French toast kissed by Pumpkin Spice Better Butter and topped with sweet, melty Cinnamon Better Butter. It's a breakfast so cozy, it feels like a hug in every bite. Throw in a dusting of powdered sugar and a drizzle of maple syrup, and you’ve got yourself a fall treat that could rival any dessert.
Ingredients
- 12 Slices of thick-cut bread (like challah or brioche)
- 4 Large eggs
- 1 C. Whole milk or half-and-half
- 1 tsp. Vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- 4 Tbsp. Pumpkin Spice Better Butter (for batter)
- 4 Tbsp. Cinnamon Better Butter (for serving)
- Optional: Powdered sugar, maple syrup, and whipped cream for serving
Directions
- Prep the batter – In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk (or half-and-half if you're feeling extra indulgent), vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth.
- Melt the butter – In a microwave-safe bowl or over a water bath, melt the Pumpkin Spice Better Butter just enough to make it pliable, then whisk it into the batter. This will infuse your French toast with that rich, spicy goodness.
- Heat the skillet – Place a large skillet or non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Add a dollop of Cinnamon Better Butter to coat the pan.
- Soak and cook the bread – Dip a slice of bread into the batter, ensuring both sides are well-coated (but not drowning). Place the soaked bread on the hot skillet and cook until the underside is golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Repeat with the remaining slices, adding more Cinnamon Better Butter to the skillet as needed.
- Serve it up – Plate the French toast, then top with a generous dollop of Cinnamon Better Butter while it’s still warm. Watch it melt into the toast, making it even more irresistible.
- Indulge (optional) – For a little extra indulgence, sprinkle with powdered sugar, drizzle with maple syrup, and top with a dollop of whipped cream.
Pumpkin Spice French Toast is like fall wrapped in a buttery, cinnamon-sugary hug. The spiced pumpkin flavor in the batter, combined with the sweet warmth of cinnamon butter, makes it the perfect breakfast or brunch treat. Just don’t be surprised if it becomes a fall favorite in your house.
