In a bowl, prepare the custard for dipping the bread. Mix together the half and half, eggs, pumpkin puree, brown sugar, vanilla extract, pumpkin pie spice, and cinnamon until smooth and well combined.
Heat a large pan over medium heat and add a little butter. Make sure the pan isn’t too hot to prevent the butter from burning.
Quickly dip each Hawaiian Roll into the custard and place it on the pan. Repeat with a few more rolls until the pan is filled but not overcrowded.
Cook for about 2 minutes, then flip each roll over and cook until golden brown and crispy on all sides. Remove from the pan and repeat with the remaining rolls.
Sprinkle the French toast with powdered sugar and drizzle with maple syrup. Optionally, serve with whipped cream and a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice for extra flavor.
Enjoy your delicious Pumpkin Pie French Toast for a cozy breakfast treat!
