I found this recipe on a card at Wal-Mart in their produce department. This is fabulous, the flavor and texture is so comforting and there is definately something about banana's and maple syrup. Give it a try, I'm sure you'll be as pleased as I am. I'm actually going to make this for Christmas breakfast this year.

Steps:
- Spray a 9x13" baking dish with non-stick spray. Layer half of the bread cubes in prepared baking dish. Top with a layer of sliced bananas. Layer evenly with the rest of the bread. Blend the cottage cheese in a blender, food processor, or using a hand mixer. When there is a smooth consistency, blend in the eggs and milk. Mix in the sugar, cinnamon and vanilla extract. Pour the liquid mixture evenly over the top of the bread. Make the streusel topping - To a medium bowl, add the butter, flour, sugars, cinnamon, and using two forks or your clean hands, cut/crumble butter into dry ingredients until small pebbles and crumbly bits form. Sometimes it takes awhile depending how cold the butter is. Using your fingers or a spoon, evenly sprinkle the streusel over the bread. Cover baking dish tightly with plastic wrap or foil and store in the fridge overnight or for several hours. When you are ready to bake, remove dish from oven and uncover. Preheat oven at 350 degrees and bake for 43-52 minutes or until streusel is set and appears to have dried out some. Watch oven time carefully as it may vary. You can try a small bite and if it seems too wet, moist, or under-done for your liking, bake longer. Baking times will range greatly based on type of bread used, baking dish used, climate, and oven variance. Mine was done at 47 minutes. Remove from oven and serve warm with your favorite caramel sauce/syrup or a dusting of confectioner's sugar, chopped pecans, coconut chips or extra banana slices (I cooked the extra banana slices in a pan with some caramel sauce for about 1 minute for extra flavor). NOTES French toast is best fresh, but leftovers will keep airtight in the fridge for up to 2 days and can be reheated gently in the micro before serving.
Tips:
- Choose ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter the French toast will be. If you don't have ripe bananas, you can ripen them quickly by placing them in a brown paper bag with an apple for a few hours.
- Use a good quality bread: The type of bread you use will also affect the outcome of your French toast. A sturdy bread, such as sourdough or challah, will hold up better to the soaking and cooking process. Brioche or French bread can also be used, but be careful not to over-soak them.
- Don't over-soak the bread: The bread should be soaked long enough to absorb the egg mixture, but not so long that it becomes soggy. About 30 seconds per side is usually sufficient.
- Use a non-stick skillet: A non-stick skillet will prevent the French toast from sticking and will make it easier to flip.
- Cook the French toast over medium heat: Cooking the French toast over medium heat will help it to cook evenly and prevent it from burning.
- Serve the French toast immediately: French toast is best served immediately after it is cooked. If you need to keep it warm for a short period of time, you can place it in a warm oven (200 degrees Fahrenheit) for up to 15 minutes.
