In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, pumpkin puree, vanilla extract, and pumpkin pie spice until smooth and well blended.

Heat a non-stick frying pan or griddle over medium heat, about 350°F, for 3-5 minutes until hot, greasing lightly with butter or cooking spray.

Dip thick slices of bread into the pumpkin egg mixture, soaking for 10-15 seconds on each side.

Cook soaked bread slices on the preheated pan for 3-4 minutes until golden brown, then flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes.

Transfer cooked French Toast to a serving plate, dust with powdered sugar, drizzle with maple syrup, and top with whipped cream if desired.
