Banana French Toast Ingredients:

Bread: You can use whole wheat, sourdough, whole grain, bricohe or white bread to make french toasts (It is better if you use 1 or 2 day old bread). If the bread is too soft, it can get soggy.

If you want to make vegan gluten free french toast, use gluten free bread varieties like almond flour or rice flour bread & make sure the bread you are using has no eggs or dairy (marked as vegan).

Milk: You can use whole milk or skimmed milk to make the dipping batter. For vegan toasts, use plant based milk like soy, oat or almond milk can be used.

Bananas: Use ripe banana to make these french toast as they are naturally more sweeter.

Flavourings: I like to add cinnamon powder & vanilla extract to flavour these french toast as banana & cinnamon makes an excellent pair. You can also use pumpkin pie mix (aromatic spice mix of cinnamon, clove, ginger & nutmeg).

Salt: A pinch of salt instantly balances the sweetness from bananas. Please do not skip it.

Butter: These banana french toast tastes absolutely divine when cooked in butter. To make them vegan, you can use oil, plant based butter or margarine.

Corn Starch: Cornstarch or cornflour is a white colour gluten free flour derived from corn grain. A small quantity of it when added in batter makes the outer crust slightly more crispy.

However it is an optional ingredient. I have tried making these french toast without cornstarch & they turned out fine too but if you want to get crispy texture please don’t skip it.

Toppings: You can devour these delicious banana french toasts with sliced bananas, caramelized bananas, strawberry, blueberries, peanut butter, nutella, honey or maple syrup.

Ingredients: (Makes 5-6 toasts)

Ripe Banana- 2
Milk / Plant based milk- 1/2 cup
Bread Slices- 5 to 6
Cinnamon powder- 1/4 tsp
Vanilla Extract- 1/2 tsp
Cornflour / Cornstarch- 2 to 3 tsp
Salt – A pinch
Butter / Vegan Butter- For cooking

For topping:

Banana Slices / Berries
Honey / Maple syrup

Directions:

Step 1:

Add bananas, milk, cinnamon, vanilla, cornstarch, salt in a blending jar. Blend to make smooth mixture.

Step 2:

Transfer this mixture in a flat bowl or dish in which you can dip the bread.

Step 3:

Heat 1/2 tsp of butter or vegan butter in a skillet or non stick pan. Spread it with brush or spatula.

Step 4:

Take a bread slice and gently dip into the banana milk mixture. Turn it swiftly so that other side is also coated. Don’t let the bread sit in the batter as otherwise it can get soggy.

Step 5:

Immediately transfer this bread in preheated pan and cook on medium low flame for 3-4 minutes on each side till golden brown. Don’t fry them on high flame as you want to give bananas the time to caramelise.

Serve them hot with more banana slices, berries and generous drizzle of honey or maple syrup.

Additional Tips:

1. If you are making a big batch of these banana french toasts, then use a big skillet or non stick pan in which you can make 3-4 toasts at a time.
