Ingredients:
- 2 slices of bread
- 4 ripe bananas
- 2 eggs
- 1/3 cup milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- A pinch of salt
- 1 tablespoon butter
- Optional: Peanut butter for spreading on bread slices
Instructions:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Prepare Bread: Start by spreading peanut butter (if using) over the bread slices. |
| 2 | Slice Bananas: Slice each banana lengthwise into 4 pieces. Sandwich these banana slices between the bread slices to create 2 sandwiches. |
| 3 | Prepare Egg Mixture: In a pie plate or shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt until well combined. |
| 4 | Soak Sandwiches: Place the sandwiches in the egg mixture, turning them to ensure they soak up the mixture evenly. Allow them to soak for a minute or two, ensuring the bread absorbs the liquid. |
| 5 | Cook Sandwiches: In a skillet, heat the butter over medium-high heat until melted and hot. Carefully place the soaked sandwiches in the skillet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. |
| 6 | Serve: Once cooked, transfer the sandwiches to a plate. Serve them warm, either as they are or with a drizzle of maple syrup or a dusting of powdered sugar for extra sweetness. Enjoy your delicious French-toasted Banana Sandwiches! |
Tips:
- Use ripe bananas for the best flavor and texture. They should be yellow with some brown spots for optimal sweetness.
- Feel free to customize your sandwiches by adding additional toppings such as sliced strawberries or a sprinkle of chopped nuts for extra crunch.
- If you prefer a dairy-free option, you can substitute almond milk or another plant-based milk for the regular milk in the egg mixture.
- For a healthier twist, you can use whole grain bread instead of white bread and reduce the amount of butter used for cooking.
