Ingredients

• 1 piece Ripe banana
• 2 pieces Large eggs
• 0.5 cup Milk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 1 pinch Pinch of salt
• 4 pieces Slices of bread (preferably slightly stale or thick-cut)
• 1 tablespoon Butter
• 1 as desired Maple syrup (for serving)
• 1 optional Fresh fruit or powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, mash the ripe banana with a fork until mostly smooth and creamy.

Step 2

Add the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt to the mashed banana. Whisk until well combined and slightly frothy.

Step 3

Preheat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add the butter and swirl it around until melted and the surface is evenly coated.

Step 4

Dip one slice of bread into the banana-egg mixture, allowing it to soak for about 10 seconds on each side. Make sure the bread is well-coated but not overly soggy.

Step 5

Carefully place the coated bread into the hot skillet. Repeat the process with additional slices of bread, working in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan.

Step 6

Cook the French toast for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and slightly crispy. Adjust the heat as needed to prevent burning.

Step 7

Transfer the cooked French toast to a plate and keep warm while you finish cooking the remaining slices.

Step 8

Serve the Banana French Toast warm, topped with maple syrup, fresh fruit, powdered sugar, or your desired toppings.
