The Best Banana Bread French Toast

• 1 loaf banana bread

• 3 large eggs

• 1 cup milk

• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour

• 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• 1 pinch salt

• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

• 2 bananas, sliced (or more as needed)

• 1/4 cup chopped pecans

• 1/4 cup syrup

• 1/4 cup confectioners’ sugar

Step 1: Slice the banana bread loaf into 3/4- to 1-inch-thick slices. Whisk together the eggs, milk, flour, cinnamon, sugar, vanilla extract and salt in a bowl.

Step 2: Dip each banana bread slice into the egg mixture. Alternatively, place the slices into a baking dish, pour the egg mixture over the top and let sit for 5 to 10 minutes.

Step 3: Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Toast three to four slices until golden brown, about 3 to 4 minutes per side. Repeat with the remaining slices and butter.

Step 4: Serve as desired with fresh banana slices, chopped pecans, syrup and confectioners’ sugar.
