Fortunately, fall means pumpkins. And pumpkins mean pumpkin bread. And pumpkin bread means PUMPKIN BREAD FRENCH TOAST AKA MY NEW FAVORITE THING EVER. (YES THE CAPITAL LETTERS ARE NECESSARY).

Close up of a stack of three pieces of french toast next to an orange slice.

But seriously. I can't believe I never thought of this before. It's kind of a game-changer. You should probably make it as soon as possible. (No pumpkin bread? Use challah instead!)

Also, I added whiskey. You're totally welcome.

    Important question: what's your favorite pumpkin bread recipe?? I have my favorite banana bread and zucchini bread recipes, but haven't found a pumpkin bread recipe I love yet. Thanks 🙂

      I have one that I "loosely" adhere to, but My Baking Addiction or Chew Out Loud both have good recipes! I have to get my go-to recipe written down and up on the blog one of these days 🙂
