Ingredients

1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (not nonfat)
1/3 cup canned pumpkin puree
2 tablespoons packed light-brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Pinch of nutmeg
Pinch of salt
8 slices whole-grain bread
1 cup whole milk
4 large eggs

Chopped toasted pecans, optional
Maple syrup, optional

Instructions

Combine first 6 ingredients in a bowl; whisk until smooth. Spread evenly over 4 slices of bread. Place remaining 4 slices of bread on top to form sandwiches.
In a large dish, whisk milk, eggs and vanilla. Place sandwiches in batter. Let bread soak, about 1 minute per side.
Melt 2 Tbsp. butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add 2 sandwiches; cook, flipping halfway through, until golden brown on both sides, 6 to 8 minutes total. Transfer to rack on sheet in oven. Repeat with remaining sandwiches.
Top French toast with pecans and maple syrup, if desired, and serve.

PCOS-Friendly Foods in This Recipe

This recipe contains the following foods that may benefit PCOS management: Cinnamon.

Cinnamon is one of the best ingredients that someone with insulin sensitivity can eat. Half a teaspoon of cinnamon per day has been shown to be very effective at normalizing blood sugar levels. Cinnamon contains hydroxychalcone, which is thought to enhance the effects of insulin. It has also been suggested that Cinnamon prevents post-meal blood sugar spikes by slowing the gastric emptying rate - meaning that food digests slowly.
