Ingredients

French Toast

  • 1 loaf of brioche bread (about 20 oz), cut in 1 inch squares
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree (I like to use Libby's)
  • ½ cup light brown sugar, packed
  • ¼ cup cane sugar
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2 ½ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

Crumble Topping

  • ½ cup all purpose flour
  • ½ cup light brown sugar, packed
  • ½ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • ½ cup old fashioned oats
  • ½ cup unsalted butter cold, sliced in ½ inch cubes

Instructions

  • Spray a 13x9 glass pan with cooking spray and evenly spread out the cubed brioche bread in the pan. Set it aside.
  • In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree (1 cup), light brown sugar (½ cup), cane sugar (¼ cup), eggs (6), milk (1 cup), vanilla extract (1 Tbsp), and pumpkin pie spice (2 ½ tsp) until smooth. Evenly pour the pumpkin mixture over the top of the cubed bread.
  • Gently toss the cubed bread with either a rubber spatula or your hands to get the majority of the bread covered in the pumpkin mixture. Don't overmix it--squishing the bread too much will make the casserole dense.
  • Cover the 13x9 glass pan and put it in the refrigerator to sit overnight, or at least a few hours.
  • For the crumble topping, stir together the all purpose flour (½ cup), brown sugar (½ cup), pumpkin pie spice (½ tsp), and old fashioned oats (½ cups) in a small bowl. Add the cubed butter, and stir until the butter is coated. Then use your hands to manipulate the topping until there aren't any more chunks of butter. Cover and refrigerate until ready to bake.
  • When you are ready to bake the french toast casserole, preheat the oven to 350° F. Take the casserole and the topping out of the refrigerator, and break up the topping into small pieces, spreading it over the top of the casserole.

Notes

This recipe is best when it can sit in the refrigerator overnight. However, if that's not an option, at least let it sit in the refrigerator for several hours.
Leftovers: Store the leftovers in the refrigerator in an air-tight container and it should stay good for about 3-4 days.
Dairy-Free option: Feel free to replace the milk with almond milk and replace the butter with a dairy-free margarine.
