Banana Bread French Toast Recipe

Two of the most amazing sweet breakfast treats combine in this super easy French toast recipe: banana bread and French toast. We love making banana bread with leftover bananas. It's a great way to avoid food waste, plus it's super tasty. We tend to gravitate toward one of our favorite, spiked recipes: bourbon banana bread because it makes for a super moist and very flavorful bread. But, of course, any banana bread will do.

The French toast part of the recipe is very simple: eggs, milk, and a little sugar and vanilla. The bread itself has so much flavor, so you don't need to spice up the egg mixture. Of course, you can spice up the egg mixture if you like. Normally, you can find French toast with cinnamon or a little nutmeg.

Some great additions we like to add to the top of our French toast include powdered sugar, real maple syrup, and walnuts. If you don't have any banana bread, you can always use any other kind of quick bread, like a chocolate chip or zucchini bread. Either would work wonderfully with this recipe as well.

It's important to have your oven at a nice warm temperature of about 250 F. This way while you are cooking the batches of french toast, you can keep the already cooked pieces warm. Just place the already cooked pieces on an oven proof plate or pan lined with parchment paper. Don't worry, they won't dry out int he short amount of time it should take you to finish cooking the rest of the French toast.

If you aren't in the mood to make a batch of French toast from scratch in the morning, try making this gingerbread French toast bake or a Bananas Foster French toast casserole the night before. Both are great ways to have the most important meal of the day already prepared before you even wake up.
