INGREDIENTS:

  • 4 eggs

  • 1/2 cup salted butter
  • 1/3 cup pumpkin puree
  • 3 teaspoons maple syrup

DIRECTIONS:

  1. Set a large non-stick skillet over medium heat, add a little butter and melt.
  2. In a baking dish, whisk together eggs, milk, pumpkin puree, vanilla, cinnamon and pumpkin pie spice.
