    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).

    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.

    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 🙂
