How to Make Pumpkin Spice French Toast Bake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8x8-inch glass baking dish.
- Tear 1 loaf (about 1 pound) of French bread into bite-sized pieces. Place in the prepared baking dish.
- In a small bowl, combine 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon ground ginger, ½ teaspoon ground allspice, and ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg. Sprinkle evenly over the bread pieces and toss gently to coat.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs, 2 cups milk, 1 (15-ounce) can pumpkin puree, and ½ cup maple syrup until well combined.
- Pour the custard mixture evenly over the spiced bread pieces, ensuring all pieces are moistened. Gently press down on the bread to help it absorb the custard.
- Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight (or for at least 4 hours).
- In the morning, remove the plastic wrap.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until golden brown and set. During the last 20 minutes of baking, loosely cover the top with aluminum foil to prevent over-browning.
- Let cool for 10-15 minutes before cutting into squares.
- Dust with powdered sugar and drizzle with extra maple syrup, if desired.
- Serve warm with fresh fruit, such as berries or sliced bananas.
