With a hint of cinnamon and vanilla and sweet mashed bananas in the milk-egg mix, this Banana French Toast is ultimate breakfast goals indeed! Made with whole wheat bread and almond milk, these slices are healthy too.
My plan was actually to make a banana bread french toast because we're all really obsessed with banana bread right now, and when I saw a recipe similar recipe to this on Instagram, I went for it.
Did the shoot and everything, and then realized that a banana bread french toast is made with the actual baked good, and not normal bread.
Well whatever the traditional version may be, this is a recipe for french toast with bananas that uses whole wheat bread, but actually tastes like the OG nana-bread french toast!
What you need for this super easy Banana French Toast?
- Whole wheat or other whole grain bread to keep it healty. A sprouted seed bread works great too!
- A small banana. This gives the french toast a natural sweetness without any sugar or maple syrup.
- 1 Egg - You need this to give that dunking mix a good custard like flavor. Adds some richness too.
- Almond Milk - No dairy, no milk, no heavy cream in this french toast guys! You can use any other, but lets keep it a little healthy now shall we?
- Vanilla and Cinnamon - Can't have a good banana bread or a good french toast without these, so the mash up needs it too!
- Very little butter for frying so you get that crispy edge! No tablespoons worth here like a normal french toast, so this recipe is low fat and low calorie too.
How to make it?
This is a really simple recipe.
- Just mash the banana with a fork in a shallow bowl or dish
- Whisk in the egg, milk, vanilla and cinnamon to make the custard base
- Dunk the bread in that mix and let it soak up the good stuff
- Heat a skillet on medium low and melt a tad bit of butter on it
- Cook the soaked bread on for about 2-3 minutes on each side until its nicely golden brown and delish!
- Top it with your faves. I added some stevia sweetened maple syrup from Sweetleaf Stevia and chocolate chips from Lily's.
Why you should make it?
Think of this, a french toast with bananas, chocolate and pecans!
