French toast pumpkin casserole is perfect for busy mornings! Just prep it the night before and enjoy the aroma of pumpkin in the morning. Serve warm over pumpkin french toast bake right out of the oven.
Storing Info
MAKE THIS AHEAD OF TIME. Assemble the casserole the night before, cover it with foil, and keep it in the fridge until you’re ready to bake it in the morning. You can also keep it in the freezer for up to 1 month. Thaw overnight in the fridge before baking. STORE. Though leftovers aren’t quite the same as freshly baked you do not want them going to waste. Keep leftover toast in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 1 month. Reheat in the microwave or in the oven. Leftover syrup can be stored separately in an airtight container in the fridge for 1-2 weeks.

Best bread. We used sourdough bread for this recipe and it was flavorful and delicious. Stay away from using limp sandwich bread (you want crusty bread), but you can use other bread such as Texas Toast, Brioche, French bread, Pullman loaves, or challah bread. Make Stale Bread. If you do not have stale bread, cut up your bread and place it on a tray in the oven at 350°F for about 12-18 minutes until the bread becomes a little crunchy and all dried out. Let the Bread Soak. Allowing the pumpkin french toast casserole recipe to soak up in the fridge for a bit gives it a bread pudding-like texture. Pumpkin. We like pumpkin puree as opposed to pumpkin butter or pumpkin pie filling because the only ingredient is pumpkin. To make this non-dairy, use coconut cream instead of heavy cream and cashew milk instead of cow’s milk. Topping variations. Instead of cinnamon buttermilk syrup, try topping this with powdered sugar, agave syrup, maple syrup, honey, or incorporate walnuts/pecans into your streusel for some extra crunch.
