Preparation

Make the Banana Bread

1. Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan with butter or line it with parchment paper.

2. Mash the Bananas

In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Leave some small chunks for texture if desired.

3. Mix Wet Ingredients

Add the melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Mix until well combined.

4. Combine Dry Ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt.

5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet banana mixture. Stir gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

6. Bake the Banana Bread

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 60-70 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

7. Cool the Bread

Once baked, remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

9. Slice the Banana Bread

10. Dip the Bread

Heat a skillet over medium heat and add butter. Dip each slice of banana bread in the egg mixture, allowing it to soak for a few seconds on each side.

11. Cook the French Toast

Place the soaked slices in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.

12. Serve

Serve the banana bread French toast warm, drizzled with maple syrup, and topped with fresh berries and powdered sugar as desired.
