Pumpkin Spice French Toast

I never considered myself an early riser, but I’m a creature of habit. Even though my alarm is turned off on the weekends, I still wake up around the same time as a work-day. This has created a few hours of solitude in the morning as Ian has no trouble sleeping in!

I fill this time with bubble baths, diving into a book or spoiling Ian with a warm breakfast. Over the weekend I chose the latter and puttered around the kitchen testing out a new recipe – Pumpkin Spice French Toast! The spices are mild, but the warm flavors still come through with every bite.

Berry French Toast

During the week my breakfast consists of a bowl of cereal. Not that impressive, but I try to make up for my lack of variety over the weekend when I have more time to spare.

Berry French Toast

Last weekend I was craving french toast so I whipped up a batch. Normally I would just drizzle a bit of maple syrup on top and call it a day, but I felt a bit more adventurous this morning. I had leftover whipped cream in the fridge and I thought it would be a shame for it to go to waste. Right?!

A handful of raspberries later, I had a bowl of raspberry whipped cream. Pure heaven! Topped with fresh berries and a sprinkle of powdered sugar, I dug into my breakfast. French toast craving = satisfied!

Cinnamon Raisin Stuffed French Toast with Maple Bourbon Whipped Cream

Goodness! That title is a mouth-full! But doesn’t it make you want to have breakfast for dinner tonight?! I might stray from our weekly meal plan and make a batch of these myself!

Cinnamon Raisin Stuffed French Toast with Maple Bourbon Whipped Cream

I got the idea for this stuffed french toast recipe when Ian and I were out for brunch at The Creamery. They have their own spin on stuffed french toast, but I wasn’t a huge fan of the cream cheese filling. As any foodie would do, I took the parts of the dish that I loved and combined them with new flavors. In this case, it was swapping out the cream cheese filling with a light maple bourbon whipped cream. The result was drool-worthy!

Feel free to mix and match flavors and have fun with this recipe. Don’t like sautéed apples? Throw on a handful of fresh berries! Love cream cheese? Then forgo the whipped cream. It’s all about experimenting in the kitchen and discovering new flavor combinations that you love. Make sure to share your re-creations with #beautyandblooms so I can like your photos!
