List of Ingredients
- 1 loaf banana bread (thickly sliced)
- 4 eggs (beaten)
- 3/4 cup whole milk
- 1 pinch salt
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- Optional: 1-2 tablespoon butter (or non-stick cooking spray)
- Garnish: powdered sugar
- Garnish: walnuts
- Garnish: maple syrup
Instructions
- After cutting the banana bread, beat together the eggs, milk, salt, sugar, and vanilla. You may also add a teaspoon of cinnamon if you like.
- Heat a griddle or a large, heavy-bottomed skillet on high heat. Spray with non-stick cooking spray or add a tablespoon of butter.
- Dip a few pieces of the banana bread into the egg mixture, coating both sides. Place the banana bread facing down on the hot griddle, turn the heat to medium-low (this helps prevent the French toast from burning or caramelizing too quickly). Cook for about 2 minutes per side. Remove and keep warm in a 250 F oven. Add more butter or non-stick cooking spray to the pan and repeat the cooking with the remaining pieces of banana bread.
- Serve the warm banana bread with a sprinkling of powdered sugar, a drizzle of maple syrup, and a dash of walnuts.
