Instructions
Pumpkin Pie French Toast:
Combine the pumpkin, milk, and the sugar in a mixing bowl. Whisk all together well. Add the cinnamon, the pumpkin spices, the vanilla, and the salt and mix until combined.
Heat a skillet over medium-low heat and add coconut oil. Dip bread one piece at a time into batter and place on skillet. Cook on each side for about 3 minute or until edges start to darken and toast.
Remove from heat and repeat until all the toast is cooked.
Kahlúa Syrup:
Combine the syrup, sugar, water, and salt in a saucepan and place over low heat. Bring the mixture to a boil and cook, stirring constantly, for 5 minutes. Once boiling.
Continue stirring until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon. Then add the Kahlúa and remove pan from heat. Stir in the vanilla and allow the syrup to cool for about 5 minutes
Then serve over hot french toast and sprinkle with powdered sugar if desired.
