Equipment

Ingredients

For the French Toast:

2 eggs large
½ Cup milk
2 Teaspoons brown sugar
1 Teaspoon vanilla extract
1 Teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ Teaspoon salt
4 Slices banana bread 1-inch thick and slightly dried out
2 Tablespoons butter

Optional Toppings:

2 bananas sliced
pecans crushed or chopped roughly
maple syrup
powdered sugar

Instructions

Heat a large skillet over medium-low heat and melt the butter in the pan. If you only have a small nonstick skillet, melt ½ tablespoon per slice of bread.
Whisk the eggs, milk, brown sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt into a shallow dish.
Place the bread slices into the mixture, allowing them to soak on each side for at least 30 seconds.
Cook bread on each side for at least 3 minutes or until golden brown.
Plate and top with banana slices, pecans, maple syrup, or powdered sugar if liked.

Notes

Slice the banana bread: You can slice the bread into 1-inch long sticks instead for easy dipping into the maple syrup.
Kid-friendly shapes: Bust out your cookie cutters and use shapes that cover a large surface area so you can cut shapes out of your bread before soaking and cooking. Kids love fun shapes!
Slice the bananas when needed: If you slice them too early, they'll turn brown.
