Pumpkin Pie French Toast with Homemade Pumpkin Syrup

1. Prepare the Pumpkin Pie French Toast Batter:
   • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, pumpkin purée, brown sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves until smooth and well combined. 🥚🎃✨
2. Dip the Bread:
   • Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a bit of butter or oil. 🧈🔥
   • Dip each slice of bread into the pumpkin batter, making sure it’s fully coated. Allow any excess batter to drip off. 🍞🍂
3. Cook the French Toast:
   • Place the coated bread slices onto the hot skillet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. 🍳🍞✨
   • Remove the French toast from the skillet and keep warm while you make the pumpkin syrup.
4. Make the Homemade Pumpkin Syrup:
   • In a small saucepan, combine the pumpkin purée, maple syrup, water, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and vanilla extract. 🎃🍁🍂
   • Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the syrup thickens slightly (about 5-7 minutes). 🍲🔥
   • Remove from heat and let it cool slightly before serving. The syrup will thicken as it cools.
5. Serve:
   • Stack your Pumpkin Pie French Toast on a plate, drizzle generously with the homemade pumpkin syrup, and top with whipped cream or a dusting of powdered sugar if desired. 🍽️🍁✨
   • Garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon or chopped nuts for extra crunch. 🌰🍂

💡 Tips & Variations

• Make it Dairy-Free: Use almond milk or coconut milk in the batter, and coconut oil for frying. 🥥
