Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece Ripe banana
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 pinch Pinch of salt
- 4 pieces Slices of bread (preferably slightly stale or thick-cut)
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 1 as desired Maple syrup (for serving)
- 1 optional Fresh fruit or powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, mash the ripe banana with a fork until mostly smooth and creamy.
Add the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt to the mashed banana. Whisk until well combined and slightly frothy.
Preheat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add the butter and swirl it around until melted and the surface is evenly coated.
Dip one slice of bread into the banana-egg mixture, allowing it to soak for about 10 seconds on each side. Make sure the bread is well-coated but not overly soggy.
Carefully place the coated bread into the hot skillet. Repeat the process with additional slices of bread, working in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan.
Cook the French toast for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and slightly crispy. Adjust the heat as needed to prevent burning.
Transfer the cooked French toast to a plate and keep warm while you finish cooking the remaining slices.
Serve the Banana French Toast warm, topped with maple syrup, fresh fruit, powdered sugar, or your desired toppings.
