Ingredients
- 1 loaf banana bread, thickly sliced into 1- to 1 1/2-inch slices
- 4 large eggs
- 3/4 cup whole milk
- 1 pinch salt
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, or nonstick cooking spray, optional
- Confectioners' sugar, for garnish
- Walnuts, for garnish
- Maple syrup, for garnish
Instructions
- 1
Gather the ingredients.
- 2
After cutting the banana bread, beat together the eggs, milk, salt, sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon.
- 3
Heat a griddle or a large, heavy-bottomed skillet on high heat. Spray with nonstick cooking spray or add a tablespoon of butter.
- 4
Dip a few pieces of the banana bread into the egg mixture, coating both sides.
- 5
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. Repeat the cooking with the remaining pieces of banana bread.
2 min - 6
Serve the warm banana bread with a sprinkling of confectioners' sugar, a drizzle of maple syrup, and walnuts if desired.
