- Make sure to use pureed pumpkin and not pumpkin pie filling when making this recipe.
- If you don't have pumpkin pie spice, you can substitute with a mix of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and allspice.
- Replace molasses with honey - This substitution will give the French toast a sweeter flavor and honey has many health benefits compared to molasses.
- Replace butter with coconut oil - This substitution will provide an alternative to butter that is dairy-free and has a higher smoke point, making it a healthier option for cooking.
