– 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice (or a mix of cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger)

Instructions
Creating a delightful Pumpkin French Toast Breakfast involves the following steps:
1. Prepare the Mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, eggs, milk, vanilla extract, pumpkin pie spice, and sugar (if using) until blended well.
2. Heat the Pan: Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a bit of butter or oil to coat the surface lightly.
3. Dip the Bread: Take each slice of bread and dip it into the pumpkin mixture. Ensure each side is well-coated, allowing excess batter to drip off back into the bowl.
4. Cook the French Toast: Once the pan is hot, place the coated bread slices onto the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes per side or until golden brown and slightly crisp.
5. Keep Warm: If making multiple batches, keep the cooked French toast warm in a preheated oven set to 200°F (93°C).
6. Serve: Once all the slices are cooked, plate the French toast and serve immediately with your choice of toppings.
By following these easy steps, you’ll have a soul-warming Pumpkin French Toast Breakfast ready in no time!
