Easy Overnight Pumpkin Brioche Baked French Toast | Cozy Brunch Recipes for the Fall Season

Published on by C'est le BrieLeave a comment

I LOVE French toast. Who doesn’t? But I especially love pumpkin French toast. As much as I would love to spend my entire day baking homemade pumpkin brioche bread, I just don’t have the time these days! I’m in the midst of wedding season (check out my wedding photography here!) and it’s hard to find time to plan complicated recipes. When I came across the pumpkin brioche bread at Trader Joe’s, I knew immediately that it would make the most incredible French toast recipe, and it did! I also incorporated Trader Joe’s non-dairy cinnamon bun oat creamer, but you can use any fall-flavored coffee creamer you’d like! I’m never able to finish a whole container of coffee creamer before it goes bad, so I love adding it to baking recipes whenever I get the chance!

Ingredients:

1 loaf of pumpkin broiche bread (homemade or from Trader Joe’s!)
8 eggs
3/4 cup half & half
3/4 cup non-dairy cinnamon bun oat creamer from Trader Joe’s (or other fall-flavored coffee creamer)
1/4 cup melted butter
1/4 cup maple syrup
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 tsp bourbon vanilla extract
1 tsp ground organic cinnamon
Pinch of salt

Instructions:

1. Butter a deep 9×13 baking dish.
2. Arrange slices of the brioche bread to cover the bottom of the pan. You can overlap bread slices if needed.
3. Beat the eggs in a large bowl. Add the half & half, flavored creamer, melted butter, maple syrup, brown sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt to the bowl. Stir until combined. Pour the egg mixture over the bread.
4. Cover and place in the refrigerator overnight, or at least for 30-45 minutes.
5. When ready to cook, preheat the oven to 350 degrees. You can add a few extra pats of butter if you’d like your French toast to be extra buttery!
6. Cook for 35-40 minutes, or until golden brown.
7. Serve with butter and maple syrup! I also love my french toast with a scoop of cream cheese, or in this case, pumpkin cream cheese! 🙂 Enjoy!
