Steps:
- For the French toast: Coat a 9- by 13-inch baking dish with cooking spray. Arrange the bread slices on the diagonal in 3 rows in the dish, slightly overlapping the slices. Whisk together the evaporated milk, milk, vanilla and almond extracts, cinnamon, salt and eggs until well combined. Pour the egg mixture over the bread slices, taking care to evenly coat the bread. Cover with aluminum foil and refrigerate for at least 8 hours, or overnight. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Remove the foil from the baking dish and spoon any remaining egg mixture over the top of the bread pieces to assure they are evenly moistened.
- For the topping: Sprinkle the pecans evenly over the bread. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of the maple syrup and the cinnamon. Bake until golden, about 40 minutes. Drizzle with the remaining 1/4 cup maple syrup and serve.
YUMMY AND HEALTHY BANANA FRENCH TOAST SANDWICH
This is something I just tinkered with until it came out to my liking. I tried it with jelly on the inside, but I couldn't taste it, so I just decided to leave the jelly out. The bananas still stay in between the bread without it. It's very delicious and low-fat as well. It doesn't even need syrup.

This is an easy breakfast or brunch meal since it's all made the day before (the 12 hours passive cooking time is when it sits in the refrigerator overnight). Serve it directly from the baking dish...no syrup or butter needed!

Steps:
- Preheat a greased griddle or frying pan (not too hot or they will burn before they cook).
- Puree (in a food processor, blender, or smoothie maker) the mashed banana, milk, vanilla, and banana flavour until the banana is completely smooth with no lumps. Add melted margarine and egg whites and pulse until completely incorporated.
- Sift the next 3 ingredients (flour through cinnamon) in a small bowl.
- Transfer wet ingredients into a larger bowl, and whisk dry ingredients into wets, and ignore small flour lumps.
- NOTE: Be sure to whisk batter before dipping each batch of toast. Also, dont add any extra banana or milk to the batter (it will result in soggy toast).
- Dip each side of the toast in the batter for a couple of seconds, and allow some of the excess batter to drip off. (for the last piece of bread you will likely have to swab up the remaining batter. Don't worry if the toast tears, just stick it back together on the frying pan).
- Cook each side just over a minute, or until browned to your desired colour.
- Serve with lots of maple syrup. Refrigerate the leftovers and put them in the toaster the next day. OR cool on a cooking cooling rack, and when completely cool, wrap in foil and freeze. Warm in microwave then toast and enjoy!
Tips:
- Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful the french toast bake will be.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the french toast bake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Use a large baking dish: A 9x13 inch baking dish is the perfect size for this recipe.
- Bake the french toast bake until it is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This usually takes about 30-35 minutes.
- Serve the french toast bake with your favorite toppings: Such as maple syrup, butter, berries, or whipped cream.
Conclusion:
This healthy banana french toast bake is a delicious and easy breakfast or brunch recipe. It is made with wholesome ingredients and is a great way to use up ripe bananas. The french toast bake is also freezer-friendly, so you can make it ahead of time and reheat it when you are ready to serve.
