Instructions

Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat with a small amount of butter.
In a rectangular baking dish, whisk together eggs, milk, pumpkin puree, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice.
Dip each slice of bread into the mixture, coating both sides evenly before placing it in the skillet. Cook until golden brown on both sides (about 2-3 minutes per side).
For the whipped pumpkin butter, beat softened butter until fluffy; then mix in pumpkin puree, maple syrup (or honey), vanilla extract, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice until well combined.
Serve warm with whipped pumpkin butter and your choice of toppings.
