Ingredients
  

4 slices of thick bread (like brioche or challah)

1 cup canned pumpkin puree

2 eggs

1/2 cup milk

1/2 cup brown sugar

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 tsp ground cinnamon

1/2 tsp ground ginger

1/4 tsp ground nutmeg

1/4 tsp ground cloves

Pinch of salt

1/4 cup granulated sugar (for coating)

1 tsp ground cinnamon (for coating)

Whipped cream (for serving, optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Pumpkin Mixture: In a medium bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, eggs, milk, brown sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and a pinch of salt until smooth and well combined.

    Slice the Bread: Cut each slice of bread into 1-inch wide strips to form toast sticks.

      Dip the Bread: Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Dip each bread stick into the pumpkin mixture, allowing it to soak up some of the liquid. Let the excess drip off before placing it in the skillet.

        Cook the Toast Sticks: Melt a small amount of butter in the pan. Add the dipped toast sticks to the skillet in a single layer (you may need to do this in batches). Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.

          Coat the Sticks: On a plate, mix the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon together. Once cooked, immediately roll each toast stick in the sugar mixture to coat evenly.

            Serve: Serve warm with a dollop of whipped cream on the side, if desired. Enjoy your delicious Pumpkin Pie Toast Sticks as a festive snack or breakfast treat!
