This is an easy breakfast or brunch meal since it's all made the day before (the 12 hours passive cooking time is when it sits in the refrigerator overnight). Serve it directly from the baking dish...no syrup or butter needed!

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 ripe bananas, peeled, each cut into 4 pieces
8 thin slices light (reduced-fat) mixed-grain bread
1/2 cup nonfat milk
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of ground cinnamon
Nonstick vegetable oil spray
Powdered sugar
8 large strawberries
Pure maple syrup (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Place 4 pieces of banana on each of 4 bread slices; mash banana on bread. Top with remaining 4 bread slices. Whisk milk, eggs, vanilla extract and cinnamon in glass pie dish. Working in batches, dip bread in egg mixture; let soak 45 seconds on each side.
  • Spray large nonstick skillet with vegetable oil spray. Heat over medium heat. Working in batches, add French toast to skillet and cook until golden, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to baking sheet; bake 8 minutes. Transfer to plates. Dust with powdered sugar. Garnish with strawberries. Serve with maple syrup, if desired.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe bananas: Overripe bananas will result in a sweeter and more flavorful French toast.
  • Use a good quality bread: A sturdy bread like sourdough or challah will hold up well to the custard and not get soggy.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: Make sure to leave enough space between each slice of bread so that they can cook evenly.
  • Cook over medium heat: This will help to prevent the French toast from burning.
  • Flip the French toast only once: Flipping it too often can make the bread tough.
  • Serve immediately: Baked banana French toast is best served hot and fresh out of the oven.

Conclusion:

Baked banana French toast is a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or brunch dish. It's perfect for a lazy weekend morning or a special occasion.
