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!

    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

    how well do you think these would hold up in the freezer?

      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 Monday! I’m sharing with you a rare view o Happy Monday! I’m sharing with you a rare view of my kitchen. What’s so rare about it! It’s clean. 🤣 
.
So this weekend our refrigerator broke. The freezer no longer works and the fridge is not getting cool enough. Ugh!! We bought our Whirlpool refrigerator about 4 years ago and spent near $3000 for it. It sure didn’t last long. 
.
After reading reviews on a million refrigerators, they all seem like crap. I need your help! Do you have a refrigerator that you recommend? 
.
I saw a Frigidaire one that we are debating on, but not sure? The reviews are good, but says, they were collected from a promotion. So I’m not sure how much I trust that? Anyway, any recommendations that you have would be great! 
.
Have a great day!

I have been decorating the house for Easter and Spring. I love how this little space turned out. I am loving the bright pastels. I added my new bunny/chick pillow that I got from @12timbers. It matches so perfectly and it’s so cute. I also couldn’t resist the chick pillow from Target.

Have the best day!

Hi Everyone! I hope you had a great weekend. I mus Hi Everyone! I hope you had a great weekend. I must say I was disappointed in the Super Bowl. I really wanted the 49ers to win. Anyway, this weekend I refreshed my guest bathroom.
🐰
I have to say my new favorite item is the towel holder. It’s so cute and practical. I don’t have a hand towel rack and I hated leaving my towels on my counter. I saw the towel holder from Target and had to get it. It’s the Hearth and Hand brand.
🐰
I added some bunnies for Spring and a touch of pink for some color. The hand towels are from Homegoods. They have so many bunnies and Easter decor. I had to control myself because I was with my husband. I may go back. 
🐰
Have a great day!!

Happy Monday!! I have to confess to you. I still h Happy Monday!! I have to confess to you. I still have Christmas in my kitchen.😳 I don’t know where to put it, so I haven’t taken it down. It’s not a lot, but just enough to where I can’t fit it. Ugh!  Please tell me I’m not the only one. 
💕
I did do one little spot for Valentines, which I think is so cute. I love decorating with Valentines candy. I can’t resist the pinks and the conversation hearts. I do not plan on going all out decorating this season, as time is going so fast, but I may add some hearts here and there. 
💕
Do you decorate for Valentine’s Day?

Hi Everyone! With spring around the corner, now is Hi Everyone! With spring around the corner, now is the time to get your chores done, so when the warmer weather arrives you can enjoy it. My goal is to refresh my bedroom. I am slowly getting rid of stuff that I no longer need and slowly adding new decor. So hopefully in a few weeks it will be done. #twopageshome
♥️
The first thing I added are these stunning customized curtains that I was gifted from @twopagescurtains. Guys, I’m in love! The curtains are just so pretty! I am loving the way it shades the sun, but still lets the light in. Exactly the look I was going for.
♥️
The curtains I chose are the “Liz Linen Drape Soft”. They are a linen curtain that is environmentally friendly, hypoallergenic, long lasting, dust preventative, and breathable. They are also wrinkle free. I didn’t have to steam them. They came right out of the package ready to hang. They also come in 38 colors and 7 shadings to choose from. There is an option for everyone.
♥️
I’ll be honest I was intimidated on ordering custom curtains. I was so afraid I would order them wrong, but I didn’t. Two Pages has a measurement finder that asks you a few easy questions and boom you have your custom curtain size. It was so simple.
♥️
If you are looking for some new curtains or shades for your home, I highly recommend Two Page Curtains. I absolutely love them. They were kind enough to give my followers an 8% discount code: PBANDP. Link in bio
♥️
Are you planning on refreshing any spaces?

Happy Friday! Hope you had a wonderful holiday sea Happy Friday! Hope you had a wonderful holiday season. I am slowly working on taking my Christmas decor down. I still have my tree up, but I love the twinkling lights, and the real reason is I need my husband to get the box out of the garage. lol 
💙
I am going with blues in the living room. I just find blue calming and peaceful. The first area I styled is the coffee table. Sorry about the views. I have a small, thin living room.
💙
I decided to go light on the decor and add some fresh faux greenery. I hate leaving the remote controls out, so I decided to store them in a decorative box. Everything here, but the white box was bought at Target. 
💙
Have a wonderful weekend!

Hi Everyone! Hope you had a wonderful Christmas. I Hi Everyone! Hope you had a wonderful Christmas. It was low key for us, as it was just my husband and I. We had dinner at my daughters house on Christmas Eve. That was nice. 
🎄
I am sharing my last view of my living room before I take down my Christmas decor. I will leave some of the winter type greens, but I think I’m going to add some blues. I have always liked blue after the holidays. It just gives the room a light and clean look.
🎄
I want to say sorry for lack of posting. It’s just so time consuming engaging. I hate spending countless hours on my phone. It has made me physically lazy and it hurts my eyes. I have put on so much weight because all I do is sit. I really need to change this habit. Anyway! I hope you have a wonderful day!!!
