Filling
- 2/3 cup canned plain pumpkin
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
Cinnamon Sugar Coating
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Main Ingredients
- 12 slices white sandwich bread (crusts removed)
- 2 eggs
- 4 tablespoons milk
- Butter for coating skillet
- Prepare the Pumpkin Filling: In a small bowl, whisk together 2/3 cup canned plain pumpkin, 1/3 cup granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice until smooth. Set this mixture aside.
- Mix Cinnamon Sugar: In a separate dish, combine the remaining 1/3 cup granulated sugar with 1 teaspoon cinnamon. This will be used later for coating.
- Prepare the Bread: Remove crusts from the white bread slices. Using a rolling pin, flatten each slice to create an even surface for spreading the filling.
- Assemble the Roll-Ups: Spread the pumpkin filling evenly over one side of each flattened bread slice. Tightly roll up each slice starting from one edge, and set aside.
- Make Egg Wash: In a shallow dish, beat together 2 eggs and 4 tablespoons of milk using a whisk until blended.
- Cook the Roll-Ups: Heat a 10-inch skillet over medium heat and melt a small amount of butter to coat the surface. Dip each roll-up in the egg mixture to coat all sides, then place seam side down in the skillet.
- Brown the Rolls: Cook the roll-ups in batches of 4 or 5. Turn them regularly to ensure all sides are browned evenly and cooked through.
- Coat with Cinnamon Sugar: After cooking, immediately dip each roll-up into the cinnamon sugar mixture and roll until completely coated for a sweet, crispy finish.
- Serve: Serve the pumpkin French toast roll-ups warm for best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Use fresh pumpkin puree or canned plain pumpkin for the filling; avoid pumpkin pie filling which contains extra sugar and spices.
- To make cleanup easier, use non-stick cookware or line the skillet with parchment paper before cooking.
- These roll-ups can be kept warm in a low oven while cooking the rest.
- For a richer flavor, add a splash of vanilla extract or a pinch of nutmeg to the pumpkin filling.
- If desired, drizzle with maple syrup or a dusting of powdered sugar before serving.
