Holy moly folks! This Crock Pot Pumpkin Pie French Toast Casserole is phenomenal! It has a great pumpkin pie flavor without being overbearing. It is easy to make. You can throw it together the night before and while it doesn’t cook long enough to cook overnight, you can set an alarm, hop up, toss it in your slow cooker, cover, turn it on and go back to bed! (After you have made it once to know how your slow cooker cooks it, of course! 😉 ) Or have it for brunch or dessert or just as a special treat. This casserole is a must-have recipe that will have everyone asking for more!

Ingredients for Crock Pot Pumpkin Pie French Toast Casserole
- 1 loaf Hawaiian Bread cut into 1-inch cubes
- 5-6 eggs, beaten
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup half and half
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1.5 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice, divided
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/4 cup butter, softened
- Optional: syrup
How to Make Pumpkin Pie French Toast Casserole in a Crock Pot
- Put the bread cubes in a large bowl and set aside
- In a different bowl, mix together your eggs, milk, half and half, salt, vanilla and 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
- Pour egg mixture over your bread cubes, toss until bread is evenly coated, cover and refrigerate for four hours or overnight
- In a small bowl, cut together your brown sugar, remaining pumpkin pie spice and softened butter, cover and place in fridge until ready to cook.
- Pour your bread mixture into a lightly greased 6-quart slow cooker (I used Programmable Travel Crock Pot) and sprinkle your butter mixture on top
- Cover and cook on low for 3-4 hours or high for 1.5-2 hours
- Serve with syrup, if desired
Crock Pot Pumpkin Pie French Toast Casserole Notes:
- This is a bread pudding type consistency and super delicious. However, if you would like it with a little less moisture, use less eggs.
- If you know your crock pot cooks hot, you will not want to cook it on high. It will burn the edges by the time the middle is done. If possible, use a slow cooker that doesn’t cook hot so you don’t have to worry about it.
- If you like a powerful pumpkin pie flavor, then you can add in more to the egg mixture and/or butter mixture. Make this recipe your own!
- As with any of our recipes, calorie counts and nutritional information varies greatly depending on which products you choose to use when cooking this dish.
- All slow cookers cook differently, so cooking times are always a basic guideline and should always be tested first in your own slow cooker and time adjusted as needed.

It looks amazing & I’m dying to try it but I live in Canada & I’ve never heard of Hawaiian bread. Can it be substituted with something else or purchased at a major chain? Can you or your readers help me out?
Hi Tami!
A popular brand in the US is King’s Hawaiian Bread (referral link below), but I know that Aunt Millie’s also makes Hawaiian Bread. It is a sweet bread, but if you don’t have anything like that available, you could use a loaf of French bread.
I hope you enjoy this as much as we do!

Hi, Tami, if King’s Hawaiian isn’t available via Amazon CA, then you might want to see if the PC brand of Hawaiian Sweet Rolls is near you. I haven’t tried the PC brand because I don’t have access to them here in Texas, but as I understand it their not as sweet as King’s but would work. http://www.presidentschoice.ca/en_CA/products/productlisting/pc_hawaiian_sweet_buns.html
