Earlier this week, I shared my mom’s Banana Bread recipe and many have already made it…and love it!
Like any breads, they can get a little stale but no fear – French toast is here for the rescue.
I’ve seen many diners offer up a banana bread French toast and if you haven’t tried it yet, here’s your chance!
Banana Bread French Toast
(serves 4)
8 slices of banana bread, cut into 3/4 inch slices
3 large eggs, beaten
3/4 cup whole milk or half-half cream
1/4 cup orange juice
1 tsp honey
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp vanilla extract
Banana Topping
2 ripe bananas, peeled and sliced
4 Tbsp. unsalted butter
4 Tbsp. brown sugar
- In a bowl, beat the eggs then whisk in the remaining ingredients. Thoroughly dunk your bread in the mixture and allow them to sit in the egg/milk liquid while your pan is heating.
- On a medium-high element, place a good dab of butter and pan fry your french toast in batches until golden brown on each side. If you’re making large batches, place your done french toast in a pre-heated 200F oven to hold over.
- For the banana topping, place butter in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Once melted, add brown sugar and once melted, add the bananas and cook for 1 a minute, spooning sauce over bananas. Take off heat.
- Arrange French toast on your plate, divide and place bananas and pan sauce on top, pour some good maple syrup.
