Healthy Pumpkin French Toast
Let me start off by saying, I made this once and then Nick requested it 3 days in a row after, LOL! That being said, I have no doubt that you’ll LOVE this healthy pumpkin french toast recipe. It’s insanely simple and PERFECT for a cozy fall breakfast. Talk about delish!
Pumpkin French Toast Details
This pumpkin french toast is very simple, but there are a few aspects of it that I love to point out to ensure that it not only tastes amazing, but makes you FEEL amazing too! Here’s the details:
- Bread: I personally love going for a bread that has a great fiber content, unrefined grains if any or is sprouted so that it’s easier on my digestion. You can use whatever bread FEELS good to you, because remember – we’re all bio-individual. Some of my favorites include Royo Bread, Sola, Base Culture and Food for Life Baking.
- Pumpkin: Of course! This recipe calls for pumpkin puree. I prefer to get organic, so if you can, go that route. Be sure that you’re buying just pumpkin puree and not pumpkin pie filling – totally different!
- Maple Syrup: I love a good organic pure 100% maple syrup. I usually get mine from Costco, but you can find some at your local grocery store as well. If you want to go for a completely zero glycemic option, you can try this syrup by Lakanto or Birch Benders, which is sweetened with Monk Fruit.
If you’re into this recipe, you may also check out my Healthy Sweet Potato Pancakes or Grain Free Pumpkin Granola or my Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies, which are some of my other favorite pumpkin recipes! Happy pumpkin season!
