Ingredients

• 3 large Eggs
• 0.5 cups Milk
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground Cinnamon
• 1 tablespoons Sugar
• 4 slices Bread Slices (thick-cut)
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 2 medium Bananas
• 2 tablespoons Brown Sugar
• 0.25 cups Maple Syrup (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a shallow dish or bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and sugar until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

Step 2

Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter, allowing it to melt and coat the surface evenly.

Step 3

Dip one slice of bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are coated but not overly soaked, and place it onto the hot skillet.

Step 4

Cook the bread for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and slightly crisp. Repeat with the remaining bread slices, adding more butter to the skillet as needed.

Step 5

Peel the bananas and slice them diagonally into 1/2-inch thick slices.

Step 6

In a separate small skillet over medium heat, melt the remaining tablespoon of butter and add the brown sugar. Stir until the sugar dissolves to create a caramel base.

Step 7

Add the banana slices to the caramel mixture and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side, allowing the bananas to soften and coat in the caramel.

Step 8

Serve the French toast warm on plates, spoon the caramelized bananas on top, and drizzle with maple syrup if desired.

Step 9

Enjoy your homemade French Toast with Bananas!
