Pumpkin French Toast Sticks – Easy Fall Breakfast Recipe

Pumpkin French Toast Sticks with a side of Greek yogurt and caramel

Pumpkin French Toast

With Fall around the corner, what’s better than Pumpkin French Toast Sticks? They’re quick, easy, and loaded with warm pumpkin pie spices — the perfect breakfast treat! This recipe is simple to make and I made enough for two servings.

These French Toast Sticks were the PERFECT breakfast for just me :) Kevin said he will have some later and Jace is at school but in choosing between French Toast or Pancakes, I will always pick French Toast first :) I like the crispiness of the French toast compared to the softness of a pancake.

This recipe was inspired by Janie Ippolito for Hawaiian Roll Pumpkin French Toast.

  • Total cooking time: Less than 10 minutes
  • Family friendly: Absolutely (my teen loves these)
  • Difficulty level: Easy/Intermediate
  • Topping suggestions: I served mine with a Sugar Free Syrup with a side of Fage yogurt topped with Pumpkin Pie Spice, Sugar Free Smuckers Sundae Caramel topping, and chocolate chips. I also dipped my French Toast in it and it was a healthier version of whipped cream. You can also top with nuts for a crunch or cinnamon for additional flavor. Feel free to get creative with your own toppings.

How to Make a Healthy Iced Matcha Latte This recipe is another one that was voted "yes" on to make by my Instagram followers, and, to be honest, I was looking forward to making this.
