Ingredients
  

Custard Ingredients
  • 4 large large eggs Create structure and richness.
  • 1 cup unsweetened milk of choice Adds creaminess.
  • 1/2 cup pure pumpkin puree Provides sweet, earthy flavor.
  • 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup or raw honey Adds natural sweetness.
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract Adds aromatic flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin spice blend Infuses classic fall flavors.
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt Enhances flavor.
Main Ingredients
  • 8 slices Ezekiel bread Nutritious base packed with protein.
  • 2 tablespoons organic unrefined coconut oil or grass-fed butter/ghee For cooking.
  • 1 cup fresh berries Optional topping.
  • additional pure maple syrup or raw honey For drizzling when serving.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Mix the custard by beating eggs, milk, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, vanilla, pumpkin spice, and sea salt together until smooth in a shallow pie plate.
Cooking
  1. Preheat a skillet over medium heat, and drizzle with a bit of coconut oil or butter.
  2. Dip both sides of a slice of bread into the pumpkin-egg mixture, allowing excess to drip back. Place it in the heated skillet.
  3. Cook the toast for 2 minutes per side, or until golden-brown and cooked through the center. Repeat with remaining slices.
Serving
  1. Serve hot with fresh berries if desired and drizzled with maple syrup.

Notes

For the best results, allow the bread to soak longer in the custard and cook in smaller batches to maintain the texture.
