Baked Pumpkin Nutella French Toast is like a combination of French toast, bread pudding, pumpkin pie, and a Nutella crepe all in one. Perfect fall breakfast!

Ingredients

1 loaf (about 13 ounces) French, Italian, or Challah bread, cut into cubes
6 large eggs
2 1/2 cups milk (any kind)
1 15- ounce can (1 3/4 cups) pumpkin puree
1/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 13- ounce jar Nutella, plus more for drizzling

Directions

Grease a 13-by-9-inch or similarly sized baking pan.
Place half of the bread cubes in the prepared pan. In a large bowl whisk together all the remaining ingredients except the Nutella until very well combined. Pour half of the egg-milk mixture over the bread.
Place the Nutella in a small microwave-safe bowl and microwave until pourable. Pour the Nutella over the bread and smooth to spread evenly. Place the remaining bread cubes over the Nutella. Top with the remaining egg-milk mixture to cover completely. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Bake for 45 minutes, or until golden brown. Drizzle with additional melted Nutella, if desired. Slice and serve warm.

Course: Breakfast

I just made this and its really mushy. Tried cooking it longer but its just not nearly as good as it looks. Might have needed more bread but I used a whole loaf.

I totally love everything about this recipe!!

I burnt my nutella in the microwave!! D; It went all dry and crumbly and all the water evaporated… Trust me to do that, I had to melt some hazelnut chocolate bars instead. It’s all waiting in the fridge now for tomorrow morning!

Mimi — December 13, 2014 at 5:47 pm

I made this and it came out perfect. I don’t have a microwave so I just stirred up the Nutella to soften it and put little globs all over. It melted nicely. Couldn’t do the drizzle but didn’t matter!
