Cuisine: Paleo
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 2 slices of paleo banana bread
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup almond milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- Maple syrup for serving
- Fresh berries for topping
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 2 slices of paleo banana bread, 2 eggs, 1/4 cup of almond milk, 1 tsp of vanilla extract, 1/2 tsp of cinnamon, maple syrup for serving, and fresh berries for topping.
- In a medium mixing bowl, crack the 2 eggs and whisk them until the yolks and whites are fully combined.
- Add the 1/4 cup of almond milk, 1 tsp of vanilla extract, and 1/2 tsp of cinnamon to the bowl with the eggs. Whisk the mixture until all the ingredients are well blended and smooth.
- Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. You can lightly grease it with coconut oil or ghee to prevent sticking, if desired.
- While the skillet is heating, take the 2 slices of paleo banana bread and dip each slice into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are well-coated. Allow any excess liquid to drip off.
- Once the skillet is hot, place the coated banana bread slices onto the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and slightly crispy. Make sure to keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
- Once cooked, remove the banana bread French toast from the skillet and place it on a serving plate.
- Drizzle maple syrup over the French toast to your taste.
- Top with fresh berries for added flavor and nutrition.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Banana Bread French Toast Paleo!
Tips
- • Use slightly stale banana bread for better absorption of the egg mixture • Make sure your skillet is at medium heat to prevent burning • Don't rush the cooking process - patience gives you that perfect golden-brown crust • For extra richness, use full-fat coconut milk instead of almond milk • Let the bread sit in the egg mixture for 30 seconds on each side for maximum flavor absorption • If your banana bread is very moist, pat it dry with a paper towel before dipping • Experiment with different spices like nutmeg or cardamom for unique flavor variations • Serve immediately to maintain the crispy texture
