Step by Step Method
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare two cookie sheets by lining with foil (optional) and spraying with Pam.
Step 2
Mix the eggs, milk, pumpkin, vanilla, pumpkin pie spice, and brown sugar in a low flat bowl (I use a cake pan).
Step 3
Dip the bread into the egg mixture, cover on both sides, and place on cookie sheet. I get six slices per sheet.
Step 4
Insert both cookie sheets into oven and bake for 25 minutes, flipping half way through cooking time (12 1/2 minutes each side).
Step 5
Serve with maple syrup, powdered sugar, or eat them plain if you are on the go. My toddlers like them cut into sticks. Refrigerate leftovers.

- Replace the Texas toast style bread with whole wheat bread. This substitution provides a healthier option with more fiber and vitamins.
- Replace the brown sugar with honey. This substitution adds a subtle sweetness and provides a natural source of sugar.
Pecan French Toast Replace the Texas toast with 12 slices of French bread. Add 1/4 cup of chopped pecans to the egg mixture. Bake as directed.
Apple Cinnamon Compote: A sweet and tart compote made with apples and cinnamon, perfect for topping the Baked Pumpkin Pie French Toast. The tart apples and sweet cinnamon flavor pairs perfectly with the savory french toast and pumpkin spice.
