Ingredients for Banana French Toast

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk (any kind)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Banana
  • 6-8 slices bread (your favorite kind)

How to Make Banana French Toast

  1. In a blender, combine 2 ripe bananas (mashed), 2 large eggs, 1 cup milk (any kind), 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Blend until completely smooth.
  2. Pour the batter into a shallow dish.
  3. Dip each slice of bread (about 6-8 slices of your favorite bread) into the batter, ensuring both sides are fully coated. Let the bread soak for a few seconds per side.
  4. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
  5. Place the soaked bread slices in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  6. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, whipped cream, fresh berries, or chocolate chips.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
