The Daily Balance

French toast, that is!

If you are a pumpkin lover, this recipe is for you. Inspired by a tweet from RecipeGirl, and seeing her creation, I decided to try my own hand at pumpkin pie french toast. Ladies and gentlemen, I think I’ve done it! I bring you a ‘The Daily Balance‘ ORIGINAL!

You’ll need (serves 1):

1/8 cup milk

1/8 cup egg beaters

1/8 cup pumpkin puree

few dashes of pumpkin spice, to taste

Mix all of these ingredients in a bowl

Take 1 slice of whole wheat bread and douse into bowl, covering both sides with wet mixture. Cook in a skillet on medium, about 1-2 minutes each side.

You now have pumpkin french toast, which would be quite tasty with a drizzle of maple syrup. But if you are feeling adventurous, why not make it pumpkin PIE french toast?

In a microwavable cup, combine a few tablespoons of vanilla pudding (I used JELLO’s), a few tablespoons of pumpkin puree and a dash of pumpkin spice. Add a splash of milk and microwave for about 30-45 seconds.

Spread on top of french toast and serve warm. Top with a dollop of whipped cream and a dusting of pumpkin pie spice.

ENJOY! Note: if I had syrup in the house I would have used it, so feel free to drizzle some on there!

As we get deeper into fall, I’m sure many more pumpkin recipes will be featured on the blog – it’s one of my favorite flavors! What is your favorite way to eat you pumpkin? Latte? Pie? Ice cream? Share!

   I love the topping you put on it! That sounds like a perfect fall breakfast!!

   My favorite way to eat pumpkin is either mixed with Greek yogurt/oatmeal OR pumpkin pie without a crust. Prepare the pie as usual but just bake it in a bowl instead of a crust.

   [...] Because, I went all ‘80-year-old’ on you and am just finishing up a glass of steamed milk. This isn’t just any mug of steamed milk though! It has a shot of sugar free caramel syrup in it! Why did I not see this item on the menu until now?! It’s the perfect treat to enjoy when I don’t need the caffeine that’s overflowing in my favorite lattes. [...]
