Ingredients

Scale

    For the French Toast:

  • 3 cups whole milk
  • 15 ounces pumpkin puree (425 grams)
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup light brown sugar, tightly packed
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • 6 large eggs, room temperature
  • 14 to 15 ounces cubed French bread, day-old

    • For the Streusel Topping:

  • ½ cup cold cubed salted sweet cream butter
  • ½ cup light brown sugar, tightly packed
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 cup chopped pecans

    • For Serving:

  • ½ cup maple syrup, optional drizzle
  • Vanilla ice cream or thawed whipped topping, optional garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the French Toast Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine milk, pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vanilla extract, pumpkin pie spice, and eggs. Whisk until well combined.
  2. Assemble the Casserole: Grease a 9×13 baking dish and place cubed French bread in it. Pour the pumpkin mixture over the bread, pressing down gently to soak the bread. Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours.
  3. Preheat and Add Topping: Preheat oven to 350°F. Prepare streusel topping by mixing butter, brown sugar, flour, and pumpkin pie spice until crumbly. Sprinkle over the casserole and bake for 45-50 minutes.
  4. Finish and Serve: Drizzle the baked casserole with maple syrup and let it cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing. Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped topping as desired.

Notes

  • This casserole can be prepared the night before and refrigerated until ready to bake.
  • Feel free to customize the toppings with your favorite nuts or fruits.
  • Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less sugar according to your preference.
