Pumpkin Pie French Toast is the perfect fall breakfast! Packed with all the flavors of a delicious pumpkin pie and easily made gluten free and dairy free.

All the flavor of pumpkin pie in a fun breakfast! This gluten free pumpkin French toast is easily made dairy-free using a plant-based milk.
The mornings are cool and crisp, our jackets and sweaters are being pulled out of storage, and a few days ago we took our annual drive up the canyon to view the beautiful Fall colors.

We love serving this buttermilk syrup recipe with pumpkin pie french toast instead of traditional maple syrup, although maple works just fine if that's what you prefer to use. Buttermilk syrup has a caramel-like flavor, is easy to make and keeps for several weeks in the fridge.

The great thing about this pumpkin pie French toast recipe is you can use just about any bread you want. For a list of our favorite gluten free breads, you can read this post.
I do not recommend Udi's, as it falls apart too easily.

Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 3 Tablespoons canned pumpkin puree
- 2 Tablespoons milk any kind, dairy or non-dairy
- ½ Tablespoons sugar
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ⅛ teaspoon allspice
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla

Equipment
Method
- Preheat griddle to 275° F.
- Whisk eggs in a large container or pie plate. Beat thoroughly so the eggs are very smooth.
- Add remaining ingredients except bread) and whisk until completely smooth.
- Butter your griddle and dip one slice of bread into the egg mixture, then flip so that both sides are completely coated. Place on the griddle and repeat with remaining slices of bread until the egg mixture is gone.
- Cook until the bottom is golden brown and batter is set, then flip and cook the other side until it is golden and set as well.
- Remove to a plate, top with whipped cream, maple or buttermilk syrup, and an extra sprinkle of cinnamon if you want. Dig in!

Let us know how it was!Homemade gluten free bread makes the best French toast. If you want to use a store-bought option, Canyon Bakehouse, Franz, or Mrs Hewitt's all work well.
Oat milk makes a great milk substitute in French toast. If you're gluten free, be sure to choose an oat milk that is certified gluten free. Soy milk will also work.

I'm so ready for #pumpkineverything , seriously, it is my favorite season. I'm also a huge fan of french toast, and then that buttermilk syrup, I think that just puts it over the edge. I want to pour that stuff on everything!
