Banana French Toast

Ingredients

• 6 slices bread ((brioche, texas toast, good quality sandwich bread))
• 1 large overripe banana (mashed well)
• 2 large eggs
• 1/2 cup milk ((I use whole or half & half))
• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 4 tablespoons butter
• maple syrup, banana slices, powdered sugar, warmed peanut butter (optional toppings)

Instructions

1. 1

   In a shallow bowl, whisk together the mashed banana, eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg until smooth and combined.*For the smoothest, and best results, you can also add everything into a blender and blend until smooth (I prefer doing this).

2. 2

   Heat the butter in a large skillet pan over medium heat.*If you're cooking multiple batches of the french toast, I recommend only adding some of the butter per batch.

3. 3

   Dip slices of bread into the banana egg mixture, making sure to coat both sides of the bread well. Place it into the skillet pan, and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown.

4. 4

   Transfer the cooked french toast to a plate and serve warm with maple syrup, warm peanut butter drizzle, banana slices, powdered sugar, whipped cream, and/or fresh berries.
