Infused with warm pumpkin pie spices and creamy pumpkin puree, this recipe is perfect for a cozy breakfast or brunch and delivers a perfectly golden, crispy texture without the need for excess oil.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Batter

  • 3 large eggs
  • ⅓ cup canned pumpkin
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice

For the Bread

  • 6 slices thick bread
  • Non-stick spray

To Serve

  • Syrup (maple syrup or preferred syrup) for serving

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Batter: In a shallow bowl, beat together the eggs, canned pumpkin, milk, vanilla extract, sugar, and pumpkin pie spice using a fork until the mixture is smooth and thoroughly combined.
  2. Coat the Bread: Spray the air fryer basket with non-stick spray. Dip each slice of bread into the pumpkin batter, flipping it a few times to ensure it is evenly and thoroughly coated on both sides.
  3. Arrange Bread in Air Fryer: Place the coated bread slices in the air fryer basket, making sure to leave some space between each slice to allow proper air circulation. Depending on your air fryer size, you might need to cook in batches.
  4. Cook the French Toast: Set the air fryer to 360°F and cook the bread slices for 5 minutes. Then, flip each slice carefully and cook for an additional 4 to 5 minutes until both sides are golden brown and crisp.
  5. Rewarm if Needed: If you cooked the French toast in batches, you can place all the cooked pieces back into the air fryer in a pile and heat for 1 minute to warm everything evenly before serving.
  6. Serve: Serve your pumpkin French toast warm with syrup of your choice and enjoy a comforting fall-inspired breakfast treat.

Notes

  • Use thick-sliced bread such as brioche or challah for best results that hold the batter well.
  • Ensure you do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to allow proper airflow and crispiness.
  • Adjust cooking time slightly based on the thickness of bread and your air fryer model.
  • For a dairy-free option, substitute milk with almond or oat milk.
  • Pumpkin pie spice can be made at home by mixing cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves.
