How to Make French Toast

Making french toast is honestly super simple. It’s definitely not as time-consuming as you may think. Once you have the egg mixture whipped up and the bread on the griddle, you’re set!

Making the mixture– It’s pretty much that simple. All you have to do is find a shallow bowl, and combine all of the above ingredients besides the bread. For this recipe specifically, you just need to make sure you mash the banana well with the back of a fork or whisk before adding the rest of the ingredients. The key to this recipe is using a super ripe banana to get the ultimate sweetness!

Dunking the bread– Once you have your egg mixture ready to go, the next step is to dunk the bread in there and get it cooking. When you dip the bread into the mixture, you really want to allow it to soak everything up. You can let any excess drip off, but you want to make sure the banana is all over.

Cooking the french toast– You’ve made it to the last step! Grab a pan and let your egg coated bread cook over medium heat until it’s nice and golden. You’ll know it’s cooking well when your house smells like banana bread!

Toppings

This banana french toast recipe is super versatile and works well with pretty much any toppings you have on hand. I topped mine with some peanut butter, greek yogurt, and fresh blueberries. You can add some extra sliced banana, diced apples, maple syrup, fresh berries, or chopped walnuts. Get creative!
