Pumpkin British Style Crumpet French Toast

Trader Joe's has these British Style Crumpets that always look so soft and airy, I just want to open the bag and eat them before I even make it to the register. The little air pockets sparked an intriguing idea, how well would these taste prepared as French Toast? So, yesterday while I was making pumpkin muffins and food to take to work for the week, I thought I would try them out. I had a ton of left over pumpkin purée and this made for a perfect way to use some of it up. Needless to say they turned out amazing, like dessert for breakfast. They are about 185 calories per slice, a perfect, deliciously lite way to start the morning.

Ingredients:

Trader Joe's British Style Crumpets

2 egg whites

1 whole egg

1/2 cup Libby's Pumpkin Pie Filling

1/2 cup Almond Breeze 

1/2 tsp Nutmeg

1/2 tsp Cinnamon

Pinch of salt

How to:

In a bowl mix egg whites, whole egg, almond milk, pumpkin purée, and seasonings. Place crumpets in mixture and let sit for 30 mins, flip and let sit for an additional 30 mins, this really allows the favors to soak in. Cook at low to medium heat on a skillet using a small amount of butter to lightly grease the pan. These are very flavorful, needing minimal maple syrup, however add as desired.
