Yield: 1 serving
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon butter
2 slices of Brioche bread
2 tablespoons pumpkin butter
1-2 tablespoons chocolate chips, chunks, or chopped chocolate
1 egg
2 tablespoons milk
Dash of vanilla extract
Ground cinnamon for sprinkling
Directions:
Put your butter in a skillet over medium heat. You’ll want to make sure your pan is well-heated before you put the French toast in.
Lay out your two pieces of bread and spread a tablespoon of pumpkin butter on each one. Drop your chocolate bits onto one piece of bread, spreading them evenly. Close up your sandwich.
In a flat dish or plate, whisk together your egg, milk, and vanilla. Sprinkle a bit of ground cinnamon into the egg mixture.
Dip your sandwich in the egg mixture. You only need a few seconds per side, especially if your bread is relatively fresh.
Place your French toast sandwich in the pan. While the first side is cooking, sprinkle the other side with a bit more ground cinnamon. Cook for about 3-4 minutes per side or until golden brown.
Transfer your stuffed French toast to a plate, grab a fork, and dig in.

Make it magical!
Pumpkins are bursting with abundant energy, and chocolate is ideal for self-love and friendship. But really, the main ingredient here is bread. French toast is a beautiful way to transform bread past its prime into something beautiful once again.
There’s so much history and tradition around the cultivation of grain, and hence the making of bread, so naturally, it’s full of magical energy.
The first ovens actually resembled a woman’s pregnant belly, and the whole community would use this fiery womb to bake their daily bread. In some cultures, such as China and Russia, ritual breads are intricately shaped and baked as part of religious ceremonies.
In its simplest form, bread is a combination of grain and water baked in a hot oven. And if you take into account the fabulous smells, it incorporates all four elements. Yeast could also be used to represent air, as it creates gas that helps yeasted breads rise.
Bread can be used as an offering or to provide grounding energy. (Source: The Element Encyclopedia of Witchcraft by Judika Illes)
