- Spray your baking dish with baking spray (cooking spray with flour) or butter it very well.
- Break your banana bread into bite size (but not too small) pieces and place in the dish

- Pour egg mixture evenly over the banana bread pieces. Pat down the pieces that are on the top so they absorb some of the egg mixture.
- Now, cover securely and refrigerate overnight or for at least several hours.
- Remove casserole dish from refrigerator and uncover.
- In a separate bowl or measuring cup with a spout, melt butter, and stir in brown sugar and vanilla bean paste.
- Pour butter mixture evenly over banana bread.

- Remove from the oven and slice fresh banana over casserole, tucking bananas throughout. Dust with powdered sugar and serve warm. Optional toppings: pancake syrup or whipped cream, Nutella, or chocolate syrup

Steps:
- In a large shallow bowl, whisk together milk, egg, sugar, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
- Dip bread, one slice at a time, into egg mixture, pressing down so bread absorbs liquid. In a large nonstick skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Place all 4 slices in skillet; cook 2 minutes per side or until golden brown.
- Meanwhile, cut banana crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick rounds. Divide bread between two plates; top with banana and syrup. Serve.
Tips:
- To make the banana French toast bake ahead of time, assemble the casserole and refrigerate it overnight. In the morning, bake it according to the recipe instructions. This is a great option for busy mornings or weekend brunch.
- If you don't have a 9x13 inch baking dish, you can use a slightly smaller or larger dish. Just adjust the baking time accordingly.
- You can use any type of bread for this recipe, but a sturdy bread like challah or French bread works best. Avoid using a very soft bread, as it will become too mushy when soaked in the custard.
- Feel free to add your favorite spices to the custard, such as cinnamon, nutmeg, or pumpkin pie spice. You can also add a teaspoon of vanilla extract or almond extract for extra flavor.
- If you like a crispy topping, sprinkle the top of the casserole with brown sugar before baking. You can also add a dollop of butter or a drizzle of maple syrup to each serving.
Conclusion:
This banana French toast bake is an easy and delicious breakfast or brunch recipe that is perfect for a crowd. It's also a great way to use up leftover bananas. With its creamy custard, sweet bananas, and crispy topping, this casserole is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
