Overripe bananas? Make an extra loaf of banana bread so you can transform it into this easy French toast.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 large eggs
1/2 cup half-and-half
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
6 tablespoons light brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
Eight 1/2-inch-thick slices banana bread
2 medium and ripe bananas, cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices
2 teaspoons lemon juice (from 1 lemon)
1/4 cup walnuts, chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 250 degrees. Line a baking sheet with foil and place in the oven to warm.
  • Whisk together the eggs, half and half and vanilla in an 8-inch square baking dish until combined. Whisk in 2 tablespoons of the brown sugar, the cinnamon, nutmeg and salt.
  • Melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Meanwhile, dip 4 slices of banana bread very briefly in the egg mixture (don't soak) letting the excess drip back in the dish. Add the dipped banana bread to the skillet and sprinkle each slice with 1 tablespoon brown sugar and pat in. Cook until the underside is golden brown, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook until golden brown on the second side, about 2 minutes. Put on the baking sheet in the oven to keep warm and repeat with the remaining banana bread, batter, adding 1 tablespoon more butter to the skillet and sprinkling the slices with 1 more tablespoon brown sugar. Keep the second batch of French toast in the oven.
  • Wipe the skillet clean with a paper towel and add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Once the butter melts, add the remaining 2 tablespoons brown sugar and the lemon juice and stir until smooth. Add the bananas and toss until glazed, about 1 minute. Serve the French toast topped with the bananas and chopped walnuts.

BANANA FRENCH TOAST

Why wait for the weekend to enjoy French toast when you can whip up this irresistible banana enriched breakfast in practically no time.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Breakfast & Brunch Recipes     Bread Recipes

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup fat-free milk (skim)
1 large egg
1 tablespoon light-brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Coarse salt
1/2 tablespoon butter
4 slices whole-wheat sandwich bread
1 banana
4 teaspoons pure maple 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:

  • Selecting ripe bananas enhances the natural sweetness and flavor of the French toast.
  • Using a combination of milk and eggs creates a custard-like batter that infuses the French toast with a rich, creamy texture.
  • Adding vanilla extract to the batter imparts a warm, inviting aroma and enhances the overall flavor profile.
  • Soaking the bread slices in the batter for a few minutes ensures they fully absorb the liquid, resulting in a tender and evenly cooked French toast.
  • Cooking the French toast over medium heat allows for thorough cooking without burning the exterior.
  • Flipping the French toast only once prevents it from breaking and ensures even browning on both sides.
  • Serving the French toast with fresh fruit, whipped cream, or maple syrup adds a touch of sweetness and complements the flavors.

Conclusion:

This Vanilla Banana French Toast recipe offers a delectable combination of flavors and textures that make it a delightful treat for breakfast or brunch. The ripe bananas add natural sweetness and a soft, tender texture, while the vanilla extract and cinnamon infuse a warm and inviting aroma. The simple yet effective combination of milk, eggs, and vanilla creates a custard-like batter that seeps into the bread, resulting in a rich and creamy interior. Cooking the French toast over medium heat ensures even cooking without burning, and flipping it only once prevents breakage and promotes uniform browning. Served with fresh fruit, whipped cream, or maple syrup, this Vanilla Banana French Toast is sure to satisfy your taste buds and leave you craving more.
