1. Mix together pumpkin, ricotta, dates and cinnamon. Spread mixture onto 2 slices of whole grain bread leaving a small border. Top with remaining bread slices and press edges well to seal.
2. In a baking dish or pie pan whisk together egg, milk, maple syrup, vanilla and cinnamon.
3. Heat a griddle or pan to medium heat and grease with butter or cooking oil spray.
