Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the batter by whisking together the pumpkin puree, eggs, and milk in a large mixing bowl until smooth. Add the vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt, whisking again. Let sit for 5 minutes.
  2. Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt butter or oil to coat the surface.
  3. Dip each slice of bread into the batter, soaking for 10-15 seconds per side. Let excess drip off before placing in the skillet.
  4. Cook the bread slices for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and slightly crispy.
  5. Assemble the dish by stacking the cooked French toast, drizzling with maple syrup, and sprinkling with powdered sugar and nuts, if desired.
