Cutting them into sticks are much easier for my kids to eat! It is also more fun dunking them into the maple syrup.
Banana Peanut Butter French Toast Sticks
Ingredients
Ingredients
6 slices brioche bread
2–3 bananas, sliced
½ cup peanut butter
½ cup milk
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon cinnamon
1–2 tablespoons butter
Toppings:
Cinnamon sugar or powdered sugar for dusting, maple syrup
Instructions
– Start by making banana and peanut butter sandwiches by spreading some peanut butter on 2 slices of bread, add some banana slices on top of the peanut butter and top with the other slice of bread. Repeat with the remainder of the bread, makes 3 sandwiches.
– Cut each sandwich into 3 sticks, you should have a total of 9 sticks.
– Into a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla and cinnamon. Dip each stick into the mixture, making sure to coat all sides. Move them onto a plate and melt a tablespoon of butter in a pan.
– Add the French toast sticks into the pan and cook on medium low for about 2-3 minutes on each side (don’t forget the sides). Also, make sure that you don’t overcrowd the pan. I cooked mine in 2 batches, adding some more butter before the second batch.
-To keep the French toast warm while cooking the rest, place them in a parchment lined baking sheet and place in oven at lowest temperature.
– Dust with powdered sugar or cinnamon sugar. Serve with maple syrup.
