These are so good they taste like they should be bad for you.. I used oat bread instead of whole wheat and could taste the pumpkin fine. Only used the oat bread because that is what I had. This bread was light however and could not stay in the mixture long. Really nice change if you already like french toast. It's like the easy or instant version of pumpkin pie and it's good for you. Although the pumpkin may not be overly strong. I found the ingredients/spices completely mask the eggs. This turns them into a sweet and spicy dessert like breakfast!

Great jumping off point. After reading some of the reviews, I thought I could make this a little more "pumpkin-y". I took 1/2 c. pumpkin and whipped it with 1/4 c. powdered sugar and 1/2 c. cream cheese. I added 1/2 tsp. pumpkin pie spice when it was near the end of whipping. I also added pumpkin pie spice to the egg mixture instead of the spices alone. I spread the pumpkin-cream cheese mixture inside of two slices whole wheat bread and made stuffed french toast. I served it with hot maple syrup and bacon. This made for a nice lazy Sunday lunch.

Yummy! I also added some flaxseed meal to make it even healthier!

Delicious! We doubled the pumpkin puree and still found the pumpkin taste to be pretty subtle. I would not increase the pumpkin past 1/2 cup or the egg mixture may lose its consistency. I added a splash of vanilla extract (personal taste). Using Texas Toast, this recipe made 6 slices = 3 servings. Either add 2 t. sugar or serve with powdered sugar or syrup. This was fantastic, we'll make it again.

This was really good, but as other reviewer stated, not very pumpkin-y. I guess that's good if you are hiding the pumpkin in there for extra vitamins, but not so good if you LOVE pumpkin like we do :) Next time I will try more pumpkin and less egg to see what happens. I used some pumpkin pie spice in place of the cinnamon and nutmeg, and I added a little sugar to the batter to sweeten it up some as grandson does not use syrup.
