Instructions
To make French Toast: In a shallow baking dish, whisk eggs, milk, pumpkin puree, vanilla, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon and salt. Place bread slices into pumpkin mixture and let soak about 60 seconds per side.
In a large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat or griddle, melt 1 tablespoon butter. Cook 2 slices bread at a time until golden, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Repeat cooking in batches, keep warm. (If using a griddle, you may be able to cook all at one time. Adjust the amount of butter, if needed.)
To make the Maple Pumpkin Butter: In a medium bowl, use an electric mixer to whip softened butter with pumpkin, maple syrup, powdered sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and salt until light and fluffy. (Easily doubles for a larger batch)
Serve French toast immediately with pumpkin butter, sprinkled with powdered sugar, and drizzled with maple syrup.
