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.

Happy Tuesday! I was outside early evening yesterd Happy Tuesday! I was outside early evening yesterday taking pictures of flowers and I felt a shadow flying around me. I looked up and there a Monarch butterfly. 
🦋
I don’t see Monarchs very much, I was delighted when I saw this orange beauty flying around. It landed on a Zinnia before it took a rest on my Butterfly Bush. Isn’t it beautiful? It made my day. It’s the small things.
🦋
I highly recommend a Butterfly Bush in your garden. The flowers come in a range of colors from white, pink to purples. They do well in zones 5-9. The flowers smell amazing and bloom all season. They are also a great butterfly attractor and fairly easy to grow.
🦋
Do you get butterflies in your garden?

I’m still working in my dining room and I wanted to share my new reversible sign that I got from @krumpetshomedecor. It’s a beautiful 24x9 sign that I thought it would be perfect in my dining room.

One of the things I added was my new bedding that I got from @lushdecorhome. Let me tell you, it is so luxurious. This is the 3 piece Belgian Flax Linen Rich Cotton Blend Bedspread. It is so soft and gets softer with each wash. 
💕
I have a tall bed and the ruffles just reaches the floor. The bedding is filled with cotton that gives the bedspread such a comfy feel. The bedspread is perfect for the summer, as it is lightweight, but warm enough to keep you cozy in the winter. The set comes with two pillow shams and the bedspread. It also comes in 4 colors. 
💕
I love my new bedding, it’s so feminine and simply beautiful. I couldn’t be happier. Swipe the photo to see how happy Sully is on the bedding.

Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime ta Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime tablescape with @JCPenney + #AllAtJCP + #sponsored +#ShoppingIsBack but you know how I love still photos better. I think you can really see the details of the decor.

💛

I am loving how simple, fresh and light my tablescape feels. It’s the perfect look I was going for. When the idea came for creating a tablescape, I was unclear of what direction I was going for until I shopped at JCPenney. I walked around the decor department and was completely inspired. They had so many styles and colors that would inspire you too.

💛

I saved a highlight of my shopping trip to JCPenney. You must check it out. I’ll be honest, I was blown away by the styles, quality and prices of there store. I will be shopping there quite frequently and you know I will take you along my journey.

💛

What is the style of your home?

💛

PS. Everything on my table is from JCPenney and it is the Linden Street Collection.

Happy Thursday! This week is just flying by, which Happy Thursday! This week is just flying by, which is okay by me. Yesterday I worked on my bedroom and it feels so good having a clean bedroom. It was a chore that I needed to get done.
🐾
My inspiration was my new pillows that I got from @downlitebedding. The name of the pillow says it all “Ahhhhhmazing™ down alternative pillow” and they are amazing.
🐾
The pillows are so soft, plush and are hypoallergenic. They are easily molded so you position your neck, head and arms. The pillows are also washable and OEKO-TEX® Certified Textiles Are Certified Free Of Harmful Chemicals. 
🐾
I’ll be honest, Downlite Bedding are the only pillows that I sleep with. They are fabulous and will last for years. I highly recommend them. They won’t disappoint you. Downlite Bedding was nice enough to give my followers a 20% off discount code to there shop: DYGEN20.

Hello! I have to tell you that I love summer. It’s my favorite season. I love the sun, hot weather, shirts and flip flops. I could just spend all day outside.
🌻
One of my favorite things to do in the summer besides gardening is going to the Farmers Market. There is something about the atmosphere with people walking around with bags in hand, the smell of kettle corn and everyone is so happy. 
🌻
Besides the atmosphere, you can’t beat the freshly grown produce. It’s mind blowing how different it tastes, then what you get in the store. You almost forget what a strawberry is suppose to taste like until have it at the Farmers Market. Plus you are supporting your community. It’s a good feeling all around. 
🌻
I highly recommend going to the Farmers Market and pick up so corn. Soooooo good!! Stock up on your fruits and veggies and freeze it for winter.

I’m sharing with you my last photo of my peonies. I’m so sad that they didn’t last. I got about 6 days from them. I guess that’s means I need to go to Trader Joe’s and get more before peony season is over.

Do you have any summer vacation scheduled this year?

Happy Monday!! It’s back to work for me. I’ll Happy Monday!! It’s back to work for me. I’ll be counting down to my next vacation, which will be the week of the 4th of July. I will tell you, it felt so nice not having any plans and doing work in the garden.
🌻
This weekend I finally made it to the Farmers Market and I picked up these amazing sunflowers. They are such a happy flower. 
🌻
When I got them, I couldn’t resist doing a flowers in the sink photo. I haven’t done one of these since Fall. Now I may have to go back to the Farmers Market next weekend because they had so many flowers and most were only $4.00 a bundle. 
🌻
Do you you like to go to the Farmers Market?
