Easy Baked Pumpkin French Toast

Baked Pumpkin French Toast!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!! We had a little left over pumpkin puree from our pumpkin bread on Monday so we decided to make this pumpkin French toast. It’s the season for pumpkin everything. Matt must try every new pumpkin item that comes out on the shelves. He always loves every single one!

We also had left over French bread from a recipe so we made this in a smaller dish (10X6) with a smaller recipe. You could double this recipe and use at 13×9 dish and it would work just as good. As far as topping we mainly used buttermilk syrup, but Matt thought it would be good with a little caramel and a cream cheese frosting. This was way good and super easy!!  Enjoy!!
