Easy Banana French Toast

Submitted by TheDangerChef

"This is a simple and quick way to use those still good but aesthetically non-pleasing week-old bananas. I like to use a less dense, lighter bread with this recipe, like normal sandwich bread."

The list of ingredients says 1 egg but in the directions it says scramble both eggs. I would think it should be 2 eggs. Which one is it? The recipe sounds good but I won't try it until I know the correct ingredients.

I had two of those "ugly" bananas to use up so I let my 5 year old mash them and I added a second egg and about 1/4 cup milk. In the end I just doubled the spices because I had essentially doubled everything else. lol We were able to easily make 6 slices of bread. My family LOVED this recipe. I added peanut butter as well as butter and syrup to mine. Delicious! I love that this recipe is really super easy to make, and what a genius idea for using up bananas! Thanks for sharing your recipe, DangerChef!

This was a very nice take on French toast! Usually when bananas are involved they are stuffed inside two slices of bread with cream cheese or something then egged up and fried. So this is nice when we are in a bit of a hurry, comes together pretty fast!
