Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, eggs, and milk until smooth. Add the vanilla extract. Allow to sit for about 5 minutes to let the flavors meld.
  2. Incorporate the spices into your batter. Whisk in cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt. Let rest for an additional 5 minutes.
  3. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add butter or oil to coat the surface.
  4. Dip each slice of bread into the batter, ensuring full coverage. Let excess batter drip off.
  5. Cook each slice in the skillet for about 3-4 minutes until golden brown, then flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes.
  6. Transfer cooked slices to a plate, stack, and drizzle with maple syrup. Garnish with powdered sugar and nuts if desired.
