Instructions:
Prepare the Batter:
In a medium mixing bowl, combine pumpkin purée, eggs, milk, brown sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and thoroughly blended.
Coat the Bread: 2. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Thoroughly dip each bread strip into the pumpkin batter, ensuring both sides are well-coated. Allow excess batter to drip off before frying.
Cook the French Toast Sticks: 3. Fry the battered bread strips in the preheated skillet. Allow each side to cook for 2-3 minutes or until they turn golden brown and are fully cooked. Use additional butter as needed for subsequent batches.
Serve: 4. Serve the warm French toast sticks drizzled with maple syrup and a sprinkle of powdered sugar, if using.
