Crunchy Stuffed Pumpkin French Toast

September 6, 2012 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 26 Comments

Hi Everyone,

I have to apologize to you for yet another pumpkin recipe.  I swear that my 29 oz can of pumpkin is growing.  All these recipes you have been seeing me post has been with the same can of pumpkin and I still have left overs!  Plus I must have made a bazillion pumpkin frappes, yet I still have pumpkin.  But hey, honestly I’m not complaining!  I love it!!  But I think you know that!  I promise tomorrow will not be a pumpkin recipe, I think?  No it won’t be!!

This french toast is friggen awesome!!!  It’s crunchy on the outside, moist in the center and tastes like pumpkin cheese cake with the drizzle of maple syrup.  Oh my gosh!!!  This is so good!!  The taste is WAY better than the photos.  I took them first thing in the morning and the sun wasn’t out, so the pictures did not turn out the way I have hoped.


Last night their was a marathon of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives on Food Network and all I kept seeing were pancakes and pizza.  As soon as I woke up, I kept thinking pumpkin pancakes, but then I thought I should try something different, so I did and I am glad that I did.  These turned out so yummy!!!   I made my pumpkin mixture, dipped the bread in egg and then dipped in crushed cornflakes.  Have you every had crushed cornflakes on french toast?  You should, it just brings an extra layer of texture to french toast.  I just love it that way!!

A sweet and crunchy french toast topped with cornflakes and stuffed with pumpkin and cream cheese.
Serves: 1
Ingredients
  • 2 tbsp. cream cheese, fat free
  • 1 tbsp. pumpkin, canned (not pie filling)
  • ½ tsp. stevia
  • ⅛ tsp. pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon
  • 1 egg or ¼ cup egg substitute (I used egg substitute)
  • 1 tbsp. non-fat milk
  • ½ tsp. vanilla
  • ¼ cup corn flakes, crushed
  • 2 slices wheat bread
Instructions
  1. In a small bowl, mix together, cream cheese, pumpkin, stevia and pumpkin pie spice. Spread mixture onto bread. Put bread slices together to make a sandwich.
  2. In a shallow bowl, add egg, milk, and vanilla, mix until combined.
  3. In another bowl, add crushed corn flakes.
  4. Spray a skillet with cooking spray and set over medium heat.
  5. Carefully take bread and dip in egg mixture, coating both side of the bread. Then dip both sides of bread into corn flake mixture.
  6. Place in the skillet and cook each side until golden brown. About 2 - 3 minutes per side.

This meal is pretty quick to throw together.  If you make the cream cheese mixture  and crush the corn flakes night before, you could make this and have a delicious breakfast in 5 to 7 minutes.  Oh and for calorie count, I used 50 calories a slice Alvarado Street Flax Bread, which I purchased at Trader Joe’s, but it is also available at Whole Foods.  To keep the calories low try to stick around 50 to 70 calories for a slice for the bread.  So what are you waiting for?  Go prep your breakfast or better yet make some french toast now!  🙂

It’s time to whip up something fun for lunch!!   Hmmm, thinking french toast again, but I only allow myself one bread meal a day!!  I have to draw the line somewhere.

Have a great day!!!

Toodles,

Jen

    I have the same problem… my giant can of pumpkin seems to last forever! (not that I mind all that much 🙂 ) But once the pumpkin starts… it just keeps coming. I finally made several baked oatmeals with it so it would keep better!

    I am having this for dinner tonight, but instead of corn flakes, I’m going to use cinnamon puffins cereal instead (don’t have cornflakes!)

      Ohhh, cinnamon puffins sound great!! I saw those at the store and almost bought them. I never had them, but I am sure I would love them. If you make this, let me know what you think of it!

    I like the idea of the bit of crunch that would come from using cornflakes!

      Yes the cornflakes give it a crunch! I love putting that on my French Toast!! Just makes it a little more fun!

    This sounds amaaaazing! I have a can of pumpkin sitting too and waiting to be used. I’m TOTALLY in the Fall season mindset before it’s even here and I don’t even care! I’m loving it. I don’t have any corn flakes though cause I try not to eat corn as it doesn’t work well with my blood type. Hmm

      I’m not sure to be honest! I would make one and see how it goes. I’d imagine they should be pretty good since I freeze bread all of the time. I would probably take it out the night before I was ready to use it and put it in the fridge and maybe warm up in the oven. I think in the microwave it mighty get soggy.

This weekend I worked on my bar cart and let me tell you that I am loving the orange color and all the carrots and bunnies. So much fun!! 
🥕
In the bowl on the tiered tray you see wooden carrots, those are from @krumpetshomedecor. They are so cute!! My dogs seem to be obsessed with them when I hung them on my cart, so I had to hide them. I’ll share them in stories today.
🥕
The carrot sign on the wall, little carrot sign on the tiered tray are from Krumpets Home Decor. Plus the wooden carrot banner is the Krumpets deal of the week. Plus you get an additional 10% off: PBANDP. Link in bio.

Happy Monday! I did a little bit of Spring cleanin Happy Monday! I did a little bit of Spring cleaning this weekend. I wanted to give my kitchen counters the less is more look.
🫧
I did have a very hard time taking my sink tray off the counter. I’ve had the tray there for years, so I thought I would change it up. Don’t be surprised if the sink tray makes its way back. 😂 I may add some herbs to my window sill for some fresh green color.
🫧
I used @cloth.bristle to clean my kitchen counters and sink. I love cleaning my sink with it. It makes it so sparkly and smells good too! Love that it’s all natural. 
🫧
The beautiful spring tea towel is from my friend Alicia from @theblessedpeach.

The tray and canister is Targets Hearth and Hand. The marble paper towel holder is Target Threshold. The soap is Trader Joe’s!

Hope I inspire you to do a little spring cleaning!! Have a great Monday!

Happy Friday! Our next winter storm is here! It is Happy Friday! Our next winter storm is here! It is just awful out there. Heavy rain, high winds and hail. This is not a winter that we are used to in California. 
🥕
My husband and I are not fancy when it comes to eating dinner. Since it’s just the two of us, we never use the dining room table, but always eat at the kitchen counter.
🥕
There is no reason why we can’t eat fancy at the kitchen counter. I am using my new placemats that I got from @vmathome. They are thick, water, stain resistant and can handle heat up to 350F degrees. I love the color and style of the placemats. They have a wide variety of styles and colors, along with matching table runners.
🥕
I styled my table with bright spring colors that I was inspired by carrots. I still have bunnies on the brain. lol I had fun with this place setting, it’s so nice to have dinner with a little style then having it on a plain plate and paper napkins.
🥕
Have a wonderful weekend!!

I’m sharing with you my media table all decked out for Easter. I just love decorating for spring and Easter. Something about pulling out the bunnies that makes me smile.

I am loving my Wanted Bunny sign that I got from @12timbers. I love that it’s a neutral color that will go with any style and color. The sign comes in three sizes, and you can choose the coloring of the background and design color.

So much fun to add anywhere in your home.

Happy March 1st! Everyday is a day closer to Sprin Happy March 1st! Everyday is a day closer to Spring. I looked back last year at this time and my garden was starting to flourish. Boy you should see it now. It’s a big muddy mess. With all the rain and high winds we sure have a huge mess to clean. I can’t wait until we get some warm days. 
🐰
I’m sharing with you one of my favorite vignettes that I created last year. I may have a slight obsession with bunnies. Every year I say no more buying bunnies, but then I end up with a few more in my collection. Lol

Have a beautiful day!

Happy Monday!! Hope you had a nice weekend! I’ll Happy Monday!! Hope you had a nice weekend! I’ll be honest, I great intentions on decorating my house this weekend, but with the rain and cold, I got pretty lazy. I had packages that were supposed to arrive last week, but with the winter storms here on the west coast, my packages seem to be stuck in Nevada. This weather is so crazy!
🌸
Here is my little corner of my living room with a little pop of spring. Sorry about the lighting. With this weather, photographing is not easy.
🌸
I added a pillow that I got from Target and a white blanket I already had on hand. I of course had to add some bunnies. The wooden bunny with the flowers is from my friend Abby @ittybittycottage. 
🌸
Have a wonderful Monday!!

Happy Wednesday! We are getting such crazy weather Happy Wednesday! We are getting such crazy weather. We are having extreme winds again and boy is it cold out. It’s only in the 30’s right now and tomorrows high is in the 40’s. Normally by now I am planting seeds in the ground and prepping for Spring gardening. I don’t see that happening anytime soon. Where’s the California Spring weather?
🐰
Since we don’t have Spring outside, I thought I would bring Spring in the house. I bought my first fresh bouquet of tulips. Aren’t they pretty? This makes me so happy. Plus I couldn’t resist bringing the bunnies out. They seemed to have multiplied since last Spring. lol
🐰
This Spring vignette was inspired by the beautiful welcome sign from @krumpetshomedecor. I love the bead handle and the cute little bunny on it. The sign is reversible, swipe to see other side. So you can use it all year. It would be beautiful in an entry, guest bedroom and on your front porch.
🐰

Happy Monday! Hope you had a nice weekend. Yesterd Happy Monday! Hope you had a nice weekend. Yesterday we watched on Netflix Your Place or Mine with Reese Witherspoon and Ashton Kutcher. If you like the classic Rom-Com movies you’ll enjoy it.
💗
I added a little of Spring decor to my bench in my living room. I will probably change this spot up once I pull my spring decor out, but for now I like it.
💗
It’s crazy how big this space looks in video, when it’s quite small. I call this my runway zone because the dogs run through this space like maniacs. So I have to keep it light with no breakables. 
💗
The two large pillows are from Target and the little bunny pillow is from the Target Dollar Spot. The throw is from Pier1 when they had a storefront. The sign on the wall is from Krumpets Home Decor.

I have gotten so many questions lately about the runner in my kitchen that I thought I would share with you a close up and some information about it. This is not a collaboration. 
🐾
The vinyl runners are from @vmathome. They are so easy to clean, pet friendly, anti-slip, and durable. I love these vinyl runners in the kitchen and hallway. If the dogs get dirt or water on them, I just clean it up with a paper towel. They have been a life saver having them with two young dogs.
🐾
The vinyl mat on the first picture is the Dandelion Vinyl Mat. If you swipe the photo you will see the vinyl mat that used last year in my kitchen which is the Charlotte Vinyl Mat. If you sign up for emails, you will get discount codes.
🐾
These two pictures are a year apart. Look how much my baby Sully has grown. 🥹
🐾
Have the best day!
