Pumpkin French Toast Sticks

Ingredients

  • 4 eggs
  • 2 cups unsweetened vanilla almond milk
  • 1/4 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/4 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 3 TBS maple syrup or honey
  • dash salt
  • 1 medium loaf of bread cut into sticks * See Note
  • refined coconut oil spray for cooking

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk all ingredients except bread. Heat skillet to medium heat (if using an electric skillet, around 300)  and spray with coconut oil. Cooking in batches, roll a few of the bread sticks into egg mixture, just long enough to coat, do NOT soak. Place coated bread sticks in skillet and cook until golden on each side. Place on a plate to cool and cook the next batch.

For freezer meal: Label a ziplock freezer bag with Name, Date, and reheating instructions (see below). Place cooked and cooled french toast sticks on a baking sheet and freeze for 30 minutes. Transfer to a freezer bag and continue to freeze until ready to use. To reheat - Place frozen sticks in a toaster or 350 degree oven until heated through. You may need to cover with foil to keep the sticks from getting overly brown. Or you can microwave for 30 seconds to 1 minute.

Recipe Notes

*Note: You can use your bread of choice. I used my favorite whole wheat recipe but you could also use gluten free, or paleo. Cut bread into thick slices and cut sticks about 1.7 cm / 2/3" thick. This doesn't have to be exact, I just wanted to give you an idea. Think about little hands using the french toast sticks to dip.
