Baked Pumpkin French Toast

This is a special Sunday morning treat, that is easy to make and tastes far more decadant then it really is.  Eggs are always healthy, consumed in moderation and pumpkin puree is low in saturated fats, cholesterol and sodium, and a good source of vitamin E, fiber, vitamin A,C and K.  Also an excellent source of beta carotene which is high in antioxidents which keeps bad cells out.  This combined with healthy goodness of oats, which is extremely high in fiber and aids in keeping digestivbe system moving, which can prevent high cholesterol and high blood pressure.  Whole wheat bread provides fiber as well as many B vitamins.  Thiamin, Niacin, Ribofavin, Folate and iron and calcium as well.
