Ingredients
- 1 large French bread loaf (cut into 1" sticks, mine was 20 oz.)
- 1 2/3 cup milk
- 6 large eggs
- 3/4 cup pumpkin puree
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons packed light brown sugar (divided)
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp ground ginger
- 2 tablespoons butter
Instructions
- Let the bread sit out as long as you can (I leave the sticks out overnight) or bake in a 275 degree oven for 10 minutes.
- Add the milk, eggs, pumpkin, vanilla, sugar, 2 tablespoons of brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger in a bowl together and whisk until combined.
- Put 1/2 tablespoon of butter in a pan/large griddle.
- Dunk the bread into the custard and cook on a griddle on medium heat until browned on all sides.
- When you've done all the sticks roll the sticks in your 1/2 cup of brown sugar and put back on the griddle cooking until the brown sugar is melted on all sides.
- When the brown sugar cools it will harden.
- Serve with maple syrup or enjoy as is!
