Ingredients

Main ingredients

4 slices slices of bread Use your favorite bread; challah or brioche yields fantastic results.
2 large ripe bananas, sliced The riper the bananas, the sweeter the dish.
2 large eggs Vital for binding and adding richness.
1/2 cup milk Whole milk adds creaminess; can substitute with almond or oat milk.
1 teaspoon vanilla extract Use pure vanilla for a richer flavor.
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon Adjust based on your taste.

Method

Preparation

In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until thoroughly combined.
Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat.
Dip the bread slices into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are coated.

Cooking

Cook the bread in the skillet until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes on each side.
In another pan, melt additional butter and add the sliced bananas and brown sugar, cooking until caramelized.
Serve the French toast topped with the caramelized bananas and drizzle with maple syrup.

Notes

Serve immediately with a drizzle of maple syrup and powdered sugar. Pairs wonderfully with crispy bacon or fresh berries. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
