You have my mom to thank for this genius idea. French Toast in a Bowl (only the most popular recipe on my website) + pumpkin and spice = autumnal awesomeness.
I got home from work around lunch time the other day and she immediately pounces on me with, “I’ve been waiting for you to get home! I made the most awesome recipe this morning and I want you to try it!” My mother does not normally make up recipes. She lets me take care of that, and then if she likes them, she’s the one who makes them after that because I very rarely make the same recipe twice (notable exceptions being French Toast in a Bowl and this Peanut Butter Milkshake. Coincidentally, they both involve peanut butter, which is no surprise to those of you who know the Thomas family.). But this time, my mom was in the mood for pumpkin, so she tweaked my original French Toast in a Bowl recipe with a fall flair. And it’s awesome. She didn’t want me to include her name in this, but since a good food blogger always gives proper credit where credit is due…thanks, Mom.
There’s a whole host of toppings that you could put on this. I used this Pumpkin Spice Syrup, some sugar free maple syrup (here’s a link for making your own), and a squirt of Reddi-Whip. Check out the recipe below for other suggestions.
My mom used 3 T of oat fiber and 1 T golden flaxmeal as the flour in this, and I tested it with my Baking Mix. Both are great options! I haven’t tried this, but I bet you could also make it with THM Baking Blend; I’d use 4-5 T.
You can find this recipe in my cookbook, Necessary Food.
- 1 egg
- 1 T salted butter, softened
- 2 T plain pumpkin puree
- ¼ cup water
- 4 T Briana's Baking Mix *or* 3 T oat fiber and 1 T golden flaxmeal
- ½ tsp. baking powder
- ½ tsp. pumpkin pie spice
- Pinch salt
- 2 doonks THM Pure Stevia Extract Powder (a doonk is 1/32 tsp.), or more, to taste
- Dash of vanilla extract
- Suggested toppings: almond milk, Truvia, whipped cream, fat free Reddi-Whip, butter, cream cheese, Pumpkin Spice Syrup, sugar free maple syrup, pecans
- Mix together all the ingredients (except for topping ingredients) and microwave for 1½ - 2 minutes or until the top is not quite dry in the middle (adjust to your liking). Top with your choice of toppings (see suggestions above).
- If you don't intend to top this with additional sweetener or a sweet syrup, I recommend adding a little more sweetener to the batter itself.
- Alternately this could be baked in an oven-safe ramekin at 350 degrees F until the top is not quite dry in the middle.
Suggested products:
- Oat Fiber
- Golden Flaxmeal
- Gluten Free Oat Fiber and THM Pure Stevia Extract Powder can be purchased from the Trim Healthy Mama online store.
Does your baking blend convert evenly with THM baking blend?
No, my baking mix is a little drier than THM’s so mine soaks up more liquid. If you want to use THM Baking Blend in place of my baking mix you may need a little more of the THM brand.
Can I quadruple land freeze?
I’ve never tried that so I’m not sure what the texture would be like when not fresh, but you’re welcome to try!
This is sooooo good. I love your french toast in a bowl. It has always been one of my go tos for breakfast. Say thanks to your mother. I will be using this a lot this winter.
I’m so glad you liked it!
This is fabulous! Thanks to your mom for the great recipe!
Forgot to rate it.
Help please…I have liquid stevia. How much do I use? Or I have Swerve. Thanks!
You can use this sweetener conversion chart to help you convert to Swerve (since it’s supposed to measure like sugar), but I’d personally just add some sweetener, taste, and keep adding in small increments, tasting as I go. http://www.trimhealthymama.com/main-home/sweetener-conversion-chart/
I just found your blog and I’m looking forward to trying some new recipes! I’ve noticed that you use glucomannan in recipes and that’s new to me. Can you tell me what it does for recipes?
It’s a natural thickening agent. 🙂
Wow! I love this. Thank you!
Just made this today since it’s cold here? This is so yummy! Perfect for fall, thank you. Your recipes are such a blessing , thank you for your generosity and sharing.
Can you grind regular oats to use for the oat fiber?
Ground up oats = oat flour, which is a carb source. Oat fiber has no carbs or fats and is a very different texture than oat flour. Oat fiber soaks up much more liquid, so the two are not interchangeable. Oat fiber can only be purchased online, to my knowledge. There are some links to where you can find it below the recipe.
I have done it and it’s delicious, a bit like baked oatmeal.
I want to go make this right now! 🙂 We had a crazy summer of moving cross country, settling into a new school life and lots of traveling so I’m excited to get back into healthy eating again!
Brianna, I love this! I’ve made it twice in 2 days… Thank you! Can you tell me if this is deep s? I’m confused about the flax and pumpkin. Thank you!
No, this isn’t Deep S (flax is not Deep S, and I’m not sure about pumpkin).
No, this isn’t Deep S (flax is not Deep S, and I’m not sure about pumpkin). I’m glad you like it!
Looks yummy. Will try soon. Thanks bunches.
No peanut butter on top?? However did you resist? ? I love French Toast in a Bowl so I am excited to try this very soon! Looking forward to that cookbook of yours! ?
Haha…I haven’t tried peanut butter with pumpkin yet, but I can’t imagine it could be too bad. I mean, peanut butter makes ANYTHING better, right?
I love your blog and recipes. Is there a way to subscribe or follow you so I don’t miss anything?
Absolutely! There’s an email subscribe button in the sidebar to your right. If you’re on mobile, it might be down below the post and comments.
I wanted to thank you for including oven directions! We don’t have a microwave, so it’s very helpful!
