Prepare the French Toast:
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the whole eggs, milk, vanilla extract, sugar, cinnamon powder, and a pinch of salt. Set this mixture aside. -
Toast the Bread:
Heat a skillet or non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Add 4 tablespoons of salted butter and let it melt. Once the butter is foaming, dip each slice of whole wheat brown bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are coated well. Transfer the soaked bread slices to the hot pan.
Cook each side of the bread for 3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Remove the French toast from the pan and set it aside. -
Caramelize the Bananas:
In another pan, melt 4 tablespoons of salted butter over low heat. Add the sugar to the butter and stir occasionally. Allow the sugar to melt and slowly caramelize; be careful not to burn it.
Once the sugar turns light golden brown, add the sliced ripe bananas and vanilla extract. Stir gently and let the bananas cook for 3-4 minutes, allowing them to soften and become syrupy as they caramelize. -
Assemble the French Toast:
Place the freshly made French toast on a serving plate. Spoon the caramelized bananas over the top, making sure to drizzle the sweet syrup generously over the toast. -
Serve and Enjoy:
For an even more indulgent breakfast, pair your Caramelized Banana French Toast with a cold coffee smoothie. You can also pack this dish in a snack box for a treat on the go. Regardless of how you serve it, this dish is sure to be a hit!
