Pumpkin French Toast with Mascarpone Whipped Cream

Pumpkin French Toast is a delicious brunch recipe! If you make a recipe that leaves you with leftover pumpkin puree, this delectable, seasonal French toast is a great way to use it!!!

Pumpkin French Toast

I baked up a Pumpkin Toffee Coffeecake for a brunch last month. It only utilized 1 cup of pumpkin puree so, once again, I had a partial can left over. Though I would love a grab and go breakfast like these tempting Pumpkin Oat Breakfast Cookies, the picky hubby only eats his oats in old fashioned oatmeal. He also snubs all my pumpkin recipes, except our annual Thanksgiving Pumpkin Pie. I wasn’t optimistic about his response when I decided to make this pumpkin French toast. A small batch was required under the circumstances.

Mascarpone Whipped Cream

Smothered in maple syrup and topped with a dollop of dreamy mascarpone whipped cream, I made a pumpkin convert out of Bill with the French toast. I thought the flavor was magnificent as well! Redolent with autumnal spices, pumpkin French toast would be a perfect breakfast for your Thanksgiving company.

Just pick up a loaf of challah and some half and half (yes, you can use milk, but for a special treat, go the extra mile!). If you love pumpkin pie and French toast, I guarantee you’ll adore this glorious breakfast treat as much as we did! Plus a generous spoonful of creamy topping makes for an elegant presentation.
