Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large Eggs
- 0.5 cups Milk
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground Cinnamon
- 1 tablespoons Sugar
- 4 slices Bread Slices (thick-cut)
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 medium Bananas
- 2 tablespoons Brown Sugar
- 0.25 cups Maple Syrup (optional)
Instructions
In a shallow dish or bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and sugar until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter, allowing it to melt and coat the surface evenly.
Dip one slice of bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are coated but not overly soaked, and place it onto the hot skillet.
Cook the bread for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and slightly crisp. Repeat with the remaining bread slices, adding more butter to the skillet as needed.
Peel the bananas and slice them diagonally into 1/2-inch thick slices.
In a separate small skillet over medium heat, melt the remaining tablespoon of butter and add the brown sugar. Stir until the sugar dissolves to create a caramel base.
Add the banana slices to the caramel mixture and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side, allowing the bananas to soften and coat in the caramel.
Serve the French toast warm on plates, spoon the caramelized bananas on top, and drizzle with maple syrup if desired.
Enjoy your homemade French Toast with Bananas!
