Instructions
- Dry out 4 slices of Pumpkin Bread (recipe here) for this recipe. You can leave the slices out overnight, uncovered to reach the desired dryness.
- I made 2 batches with this, so the pictures show extra. In a small container, mix together your egg, cream, vanilla extract, orange extract, and pumpkin pie spice.
- Dip the bread into the mixture and let it soak for about 5 minutes.
- Flip the bread and allow to soak for 5 more minutes.
- In a pan, set to medium-low heat and set butter in the middle. Let the butter cook until it starts to brown.
- Once the butter is browned, add the bread that has now soaked almost all of the mixture. Let this cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Flip and cook on the other side until finished.
- Top with powdered swerve and/or keto maple syrup (recipe here). Enjoy!
