Banana French Toast Ingredients

You'll just need five simple ingredients to make this delicious stuffed French toast breakfast recipe!

• 1 small banana - choose a small ripe one, not too brown though.

• 2 pieces of white sliced bread - I use Warburtons Danish bread for this recipe partly because it's less calories per slice than regular bread, and I love how it tastes.

• 1 large egg - whisked

• pinch of ground cinnamon - this gives the toast just the best taste and it smells delicious as it cooks. Warm cinnamon is a gorgeous scent.

• 20g butter - I use unsalted butter, you don't want salty butter ruining the sweet taste of this delicious toast.

How to make Banana Cinnamon French Toast

You're just going to love this flavor packed banana stuffed French toast - it's super indulgent and oh so easy to make!

Step One - prepare the ingredients

• Crack the egg - into a cup and whisk it lightly with a fork.

• Prepare the banana - peel and roughly mash the banana using a fork.

• Mash the banana - continue mashing the banana until it's soft and squishy.

Step Two - fill the Banana French Toast

• Fill the French toast - get your slices of bread, spread the mashed banana onto one slice the white bread.

• Make the French toast sandwich - put the other piece of sliced bread on top of the banana spread bread and squash them together.

Step Three - coat the sandwich in beaten egg and cinnamon

• Get the egg prepared - tip the beaten egg onto a plate and give it a swirl to cover the plate fully- this just makes it easier to get an even coat of egg on the banana sandwich.

• Dip the French toast - put the banana sandwich into the beaten egg and press down so the bread soaks up the beaten egg mixture. You want to really soak both sides.

• Flip the sandwich over - to coat the other side and sprinkle with ground cinnamon.

Step Four - cook the banana French toast

• Add the knob of butter - to a hot frying pan and melt until it's sizzling and bubbling.

• Cook the French toast - put the banana stuffed French toast into the hot pan and cook over a medium heat until it's golden brown.

• Flip the french toast - over carefully and cook it on the other side until it's golden brown.

• Serve - slide the Banana Cinnamon French Toast onto a plate and allow to cool a little because the banana filling will be really hot. Then slice in half and eat.

How To Make Cinnamon Banana French Toast Your Way

• Change the spices - you could switch the ground cinnamon for ground ginger or nutmeg or miss the spices out all together. You could also flavor the egg mixture with some vanilla extract.

• Go healthier - with the bread - you could opt for wholegrain or seeded loaf. Or go super indulgent and use brioche or challah bread.

• Sweeten it up - try sprinkling the bread with just a little dusting of icing sugar as it comes out of the hot frying pan - it will give the french toast a really delicious doughnut style taste.... and that's a good thing! Or drizzle over some maple syrup or sprinkle on some brown sugar to serve.

• Add in some chocolate - you could even add in some chocolate spread - just a little spread on to the bread before you add the mashed banana, they'll mingle deliciously together as it cooks. And yes, this absolutely works really well with peanut butter too!
