In a large shallow bowl, beat the eggs and add in the pumpkin puree, milk, cinnamon and vanilla extract. Mix until combined.
Cut the bread into strips. I got about 4 strips per slice of bread.
Place a few strips into the pumpkin mixture and allow to soak for about 10-15 seconds per side to absorb the moisture.
Heat oil over medium heat in a large frying pan. Place the strips in the pan in a single layer. Cook for about 2-3 minutes per side or until lightly browned and golden. Flip and cook on the other side for another 2-3 minutes.
Remove from pan and serve plain or with fresh fruit or maple syrup.
