French Toast Batter

4 Eggs, beaten
3/4 c. milk
1/2 c. pumpkin puree
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/2 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
kosher salt
1 small tin loaf, sliced into 1″ thick slices
3 tbsp. unsalted butter, divided
1 tsp. sugar

Pumpkin Butter

4 tbsp. unsalted butter, slightly softened
2 tbsp. pumpkin puree
2 tbsp. maple syrup
1/4 tsp. pumpkin spice
kosher salt

Directions

1. In a shallow baking dish, whisk eggs and combine with milk, pumpkin, vanilla extract, pumpkin pie spice, and a pinch of salt. Place brioche slices into the pumpkin custard mixture and let soak, about 30 seconds per side.

3. Make pumpkin butter: in a medium bowl, whip together softened butter with pumpkin, maple syrup, pumpkin spice, and a pinch of salt until light and fluffy.
4. Top French toast with pumpkin butter, sprinkle with icing sugar, and drizzle with maple syrup.
