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)
Directions
Step 1
In a shallow dish or bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and sugar until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Step 2
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter, allowing it to melt and coat the surface evenly.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
Peel the bananas and slice them diagonally into 1/2-inch thick slices.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
Serve the French toast warm on plates, spoon the caramelized bananas on top, and drizzle with maple syrup if desired.
Step 9
Enjoy your homemade French Toast with Bananas!
