Peanut Butter Banana French Toast
Hope everyone had a beautiful weekend. We are FINALLY out of school around here. Seems like we were the only school on earth still in session. My boys are thrilled to sleep in and stay up late this summer 🙂 I am officially 7 months pregnant. I liked the 2nd trimester much better, lol! A few more months to go. Can’t wait to meet our new little guy.
Ok, onto the French Toast! When I was in Kansas City last week, some of you may have recognized that I enjoyed a Bananas Foster French Toast for breakfast in my hotel room. It was so amazing that I was determined to come home and make my own version that we could all enjoy. Let me just tell you, I did it and it’s even better. AND it’s a breeze to make. Let’s take a look.
How to Make Peanut Butter Bananas Foster French Toast
Let’s start with the egg/cream mixture for the toast. Do NOT substitute that heavy cream. It’s a must my friends.
Eggs, cream and brown sugar into the bowl.
Add your cinnamon then grab a fork or whisk.
Mix it all together.
Melt some butter into your hot skillet.
I used a lovely cinnamon bread from the Farmer’s Market, however use what you like. Dip it on in.
Make sure to dip both sides then transfer to your hot skillet.
Sizzle sizzle for a couple minutes.
Check to make sure that bottom side is nice and golden.
….and flip to get that other side 🙂
Once all of your bread has been “French Toasted” let’s start the best part of the recipe. The peanut buttery creamy sauce. Some pure maple syrup please.
Swirl in and melt your peanut butter. MMMM!
Once the peanut butter’s melted and bubbly add a splash of vanilla.
Stir in some heavy cream. Oh yah!
Dont’ forget those nanners.
Give them a stir into that fabulous sauce.
Ok, it’s ready to be slathered over your toast!
Tada’ Now grab a fork and dig in 🙂
Ridiculous in the best way possible.

Dear Lord this looks ridiculously amazing!!!! I’ll be making this on Saturday morning!!! Thanks Jenny!
This was breakfast this morning! I used my own homemade whole wheat cinnamon raisin bread. The kiddos loved it! Though I did have to cater to my younger son and serve his up before the bananas went into the syrup. I don’t even like bananas, but decided to take a risk and ate it the syrup with them. Holy cow! Thanks for another delicious gourmet breakfast recipe to spoil my family with!
By the way, I did not have any heavy cream. I know you said no substitutions, but this recipe just couldn’t wait! So I used a little whole milk and some sweetened condensed milk for the french toast batter and some evaporated milk in the syrup. Delish!
Oh my lordy! The toast is cool..but lets talk about that golden Olympic first place status sauce? I want that on everything, even my french fries 😉
I have to treat the kids with this at the weekend…
This looks AMAZING!!
Good thing I bought so bread and bananas at the grocery store today…because I am SO making these!
Mmmmm! I never even thought of using cinnamon bread for french toast! What an awesome idea 🙂 Your version definitely looks like a winner!
Mmmm, I love french toast – this one looks super delicious! Great way to make it really special!
Oh man, this looks insane!
Oh my! Would it be wrong to make that right now? For supper? LOL that looks SOOOOOOOOoo good. I absolutely love Bananas Foster and before a local hotel closed and then closed, they had a fabulous chef that would come tableside during their special holiday buffets if you ordered the dish and make it right there for you at your table. It was such a great treat. I’m so sad they closed and that was the only place near here that even has that on their menu. 🙁 I’m a very good cook and don’t know why I’ve never bothered to make it myself because it really isn’t that hard. But NOW? Oh yea, I’m going to use this recipe to make something very similar for breakfast. YUM! Thank you.
Yay for Summer break! Your boys were not alone. My son’s last day of school is tomorrow. It has been the longest school year ever!
Looks a delicious summer breakfast! Tell your kids not to feel too bad, I work for NYC schools and we are not done until Wednesday 🙁
YUM! I haven’t had french toast in forever and was thinking of making it this week. Now it looks like I need to make it this week.
