By: Cuisine l'Angélique
PORTIONS: 4
ORGANIC INGREDIENTS
- 3 large eggs (165 g)
- 70 g (1/3 cup) plant-based milk substitute
- 155 g (1/2 cup) pumpkin purée
- 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 15 ml (1 tbsp) maple syrup
- 1 ml (1/4 tsp) ground cinnamon
- 1 ml (1/4 tsp) ground cloves
- 1 ml (1/4 tsp) ground nutmeg
- Margarine * for cooking
- 8 slices of Cuisine l’Angélique gluten-free bread
Garnish:
- 1 ml (1/4 tsp) ground cinnamon
- 1 ml (1/4 tsp) ground cloves
- 55 g (1/4 cup) granulated sugar
PREPARATION
- For soft, absorbent slices, defrost the bread in the microwave oven (or in a conventional oven, wrapped in aluminum foil**).
- In a bowl, combine the eggs, milk substitute, pumpkin purée, vanilla, maple syrup and spices.
- In a non-stick pan, melt some margarine.
- Dip 1 bread slice at a time, a few seconds for each side, to make sure the bread soaks up a good amount of the batter. Place a slice in the pan.
- Cook both sides on low heat to not burn the bread. Once one side is golden, turn to cook the other side. Repeat step 3 between each slice.
- In a plate, combine the garnish ingredients.
- Coat both sides of each slice in sugar.

As the cold season approaches, treat yourself to a hot breakfast of autumn flavors that will be a hit with young and old alike.
TIP
* If you are not on a dairy-free diet, replacing margarine with butter is an option.
** If you want to avoid direct contact with aluminum, cover first with parchment paper and then wrap in aluminum foil.
