Ingredients
  

For the Custard
  • 1 cup Pumpkin Puree Adds richness and flavor; substitute with sweet potato puree for a different taste profile.
  • ½ cup Yogurt Regular or Non-Dairy; provides creaminess for a custard-like mixture; can replace with 2 eggs if not vegan.
  • ½ cup Milk Oat, Almond, or Regular; acts as the liquid base to soak the bread.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Enhances flavor; optional for those preferring a more straightforward taste.
  • 1 teaspoon Pumpkin Pie Spices Provides the signature fall flavor; can substitute with a mix of cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger.
  • 2 tablespoons Maple Syrup Optional; adds sweetness; omit for a less sweet version.
For the Bread
  • 2-3 slices Bread Regular or Gluten-Free; ensure it’s thick enough to hold the custard well.
For Frying
  • 1-2 teaspoons Butter or Oil Creates a crispy exterior; opt for vegan butter or coconut oil for vegan preparations.

Equipment

  • Skillet or Non-stick Frying Pan

Method
 

Cooking Steps
  1. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, yogurt, milk, vanilla extract, pumpkin pie spices, and maple syrup until smooth and well combined.
  2. Place a skillet over medium heat and add the butter or oil. Allow it to melt and coat the skillet.
  3. Soak the bread slices in the custard mixture for 15-20 seconds on each side, then place them in the heated skillet.
  4. Cook the bread slices for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
  5. Remove the cooked slices from the skillet and repeat the process with the remaining bread.
  6. Serve warm, optionally dusting with cinnamon and powdered sugar, or drizzling with maple syrup.
