Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 large ripe banana
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tablespoons whole milk (or non-dairy alternative)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1–2 tablespoons peanut butter (optional)

Dry Ingredients

  • 3 slices bread (whole grain or your preferred choice)
  • Butter for cooking

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Banana Egg Mixture: Mash the ripe banana in a shallow bowl or baking dish until mostly smooth with some small lumps. In the same dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and peanut butter if using, ensuring the mixture is well combined.
  2. Soak the Bread: Dip each slice of bread into the banana-egg mixture, soaking for about 10-15 seconds on each side to allow the bread to absorb the flavors without becoming too soggy.
  3. Cook the French Toast: Heat a skillet or griddle over medium-low to medium heat and melt a small amount of butter until bubbly. Place the soaked bread slices onto the pan, cooking each side for 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Adjust the heat as needed to prevent burning.
  4. Serve and Enjoy: Remove the French toast from the pan and serve warm with your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit, syrup, or a dusting of powdered sugar.

Notes

  • Use whole grain bread for added fiber and nutrition.
  • For a vegan option, substitute eggs with a chia seed or flaxseed egg and use non-dairy milk and vegan butter.
  • Adjust cinnamon and vanilla to taste for preferred flavor intensity.
  • Peanut butter adds extra protein and creaminess but can be omitted for a simpler version.
  • Monitor the heat while cooking to avoid burning the French toast.
