When the holidays roll around, it's not unusual for homes to be filled with guests. When morning comes, make breakfast extra special by including some very fun, simple French toast on the menu. It's a basic French toast recipe that swaps out the traditional cinnamon with pumpkin pie spice and includes some pureed pumpkin. Make your life easier and use the stuff out of the can ... it's easier and you are bound to get more consistent, perfect results.
I like to serve this French toast with warm maple syrup, extra butter and toasted pecans. Imagine that with a cup of fresh coffee and most guests will find it hard to leave! Of course, you don't have to save this recipe for guests only ... it's easy enough to be a regular treat that will have you lounging around! Enjoy.
