Banana Bread French Toast

Course Breakfast

Ingredients

For French Toast

  • 2 eggs
  • 1/3 cup milk, Whole, coconut, or almond
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 loaf of banana bread
  • 1 tablespoon butter

For Banana

  • 1-2 bananas, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon butter

For Toppings

  • 1 can coconut milk, chilled, solids only
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • Maple syrup, to taste
  • Assorted berries, to garnish

Instructions

  1. For french toast: whisk the eggs, milk, cinnamon, vanilla, and salt in a shallow baking dish.

  2. Place banana bread slices in the mixture to coat. Then flip to allow the bread to soften, about a minute on each side.

  3. Meanwhile, heat butter in a skillet. Add soaked bread slices and cook until the underside is lightly brown, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook similarly on the second side.

  4. Transfer french toast to a large serving platter.

  5. For bananas: Wipe skillet clean with a paper towel. Heat butter then add banana slices to the pan, cooking on each side for 1 minute until caramelized. Remove and place on platter.

  6. For topping: In a blender, whip coconut cream (remove water) and vanilla until smooth. Drizzle over french toast platter. Add a drizzle of maple syrup and finish with a garnish of berries for color.
