Ingredients
  

8 slices of white bread (crusts removed)

1 cup canned pumpkin puree

2 large eggs

1/2 cup milk (or dairy-free alternative)

1/4 cup brown sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (plus extra for dusting)

4 tablespoons butter (for frying)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Filling: In a medium bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and pumpkin pie spice. Mix well until smooth and creamy.

    Flatten the Bread: Using a rolling pin, gently roll out each slice of bread until flat. This will help when you roll them up.

      Assemble the Roll-Ups: Take about a tablespoon of the pumpkin mixture and spread it onto one end of a flattened slice of bread. Roll it up tightly, starting from the end with the filling. Repeat this with all slices.

        Heat the Pan: In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat.

          Fry the Roll-Ups: Once the butter is bubbling, place the roll-ups seam-side down in the skillet. Fry them for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. You may need to fry in batches depending on your skillet size. Add more butter as needed.

            Coat the Roll-Ups: In a shallow bowl, mix together sugar and extra pumpkin pie spice. After frying, immediately roll each French toast roll-up in the sugar mixture to coat.

              Serve: Arrange on a platter and serve warm, drizzled with maple syrup or sprinkle with powdered sugar for extra sweetness. Enjoy!
