Instructions
Preparation
- In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, yogurt (or eggs), oat milk, vanilla, pumpkin pie spices, and maple syrup until smooth.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and add some butter.
- Take a slice of bread and dip it into the pumpkin mixture, ensuring it’s fully coated.
- Place the coated bread slice in the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
- Repeat this process with the remaining bread slices, adding more butter as needed.

Notes
For a fluffier texture, use the yogurt option rather than eggs. Experiment with different types of bread, like brioche or sourdough, for varied flavor and texture. Consider adding chopped nuts to the pumpkin mixture for a nuttier taste.
