   • Combine the unsalted butter and maple syrup in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the metal blade.
   • Process until very smooth, then scrape the maple butter into a serving bowl and set aside.

2. Prepare the Bread:

   • Trim and discard the ends from each loaf of bread. You can toss the ends off for the birds.
   • Using a long, narrow object like a sharpening steel or a wooden spoon handle, pierce a hole through the center of each loaf of bread, pushing out slightly to make the hole large enough to push a banana through.
   • Push a banana into the hole until it protrudes out of both ends of the bread. If one banana is too short, add a portion of another banana. Trim off the banana ends to set the banana flush with the bread end.
   • Using a sharp knife, cut each loaf of bread into 1-inch-thick slices.

3. Prepare the Batter:

   • In a blender, combine the eggs, chopped bananas, and heavy cream. Process until well combined.
   • Add the sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg, then process to a smooth batter.
   • Incorporate the pure vanilla extract into the batter. If the batter seems too thick, add milk, a tablespoon at a time, until desired consistency is reached. Pour the batter into a large, shallow bowl or pan.

4. Cooking:

   • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
   • Using a pastry brush, lightly coat a nonstick griddle with some of the canola oil. Place the griddle over medium heat.
   • Working with one slice at a time, dip the banana-stuffed bread into the batter, allowing excess batter to drip off.
   • Place the battered bread onto the hot griddle and cook for about 2 minutes per side or just until golden.
   • Transfer the cooked slices to a cookie sheet.
   • Once all bread slices are cooked, place the cookie sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 5 minutes or until the bread is cooked in the center.

5. Serve:

   • Serve the Banana-Stuffed French Toast hot with the reserved maple butter.

6. Additional Notes:

   • You can cook the French toast early in the day and reheat it in the oven just before serving.
   • Maple butter keeps very well, tightly covered and refrigerated or frozen, and can be used on pancakes, waffles, or toast.
   • Though it may seem like a lot of work, it gets quicker each time you make it. Impress your guests with this delicious treat, which is sure to please even the pickiest eaters.
   • For an added touch of whimsy, tell your guests it’s a favorite breakfast of Kings, as you point to your black velvet oil painting of Elvis hanging over the kitchen sink. 🕺👑
