Pumpkin Sensation Week: Final Day

Recipe for making no-fuss dairy free pumpkin french toast  In our kitchen we have some allergy- cursed individuals, most allergies stemming from dairy. as an effort to convert from dairy loaded to dairy free we got cracking on french toast first. The best part about this recipe is that you don't even notice there are no eggs thanks to a mixture of pumpkin and milled flax seed. It is crunchy and moist and everything you would want on a chilly winter's day. Since it is baked in the oven, with easy prepping, you don't have to spend time over the stove flipping slices. you can simply walk away and enjoy time with your family or friends.

Tricks
-Day old bread or older works best for this recipe. New bread will be to soft and won't be able to hold the mixture firmly
-You might want to stirring you slices of bread that are soaking in the wet mixture so make sure they are getting evenly covered and that the mixture does not separate.

  2. Thanks so much for linking up with us at FFF this week. Love the fact that you used flax instead of eggs. I do that too. Have not thought of using pumpkin. Will have to give it a try.
