🥘 Ingredients

Bread, a good choice is brioche bread or try this homemade challah bread.

- Place 3 bananas, eggs, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla into a blender and blend until smooth.
- Pour the banana mixture into a shallow bowl and dip bread the batter; Flip to coat other side of the bread.

🙋 Recipe FAQ's
It is likely the bread you used was too fresh.
Use ½ tablespoon of cornstarch in the banana batter in place of the eggs to aid in binding the batter to the toast.
A large nonstick skillet or griddle works best.
💭 Tips
- Use day old stale bread for the best results.
- Choose overripe bananas over firm bananas as they will add more sweetness to the french toast.
- I do not recommend using banana bread to make this french toast recipe. It is too dense and will turn out heavy with the batter.
📖 Variations
- Skip the syrup and top the banana bread french toast with butter and a sprinkle of dark brown sugar.
- Spread the french toast with peanut butter, homemade berry rhubarb jam, and top with sliced bananas, finishing off with a drizzle of pure maple syrup.
🍽 Equipment
Blender, I love this blender!
Large stainless steel mixing bowl
Serving Suggestions
Serve this Invisible Banana French Toast recipe with a side of Mom's Rhubarb Sauce, a cup of hot or homemade iced coffee, and Homemade breakfast sausage.
Storage
- Store any leftover french toast in an airtight package in the refrigerator up to 3 days and in the freezer up to 3 months.
- Reheat the french toast by placing it in a toaster oven or in a 350 degree oven on a large baking sheet covered with foil for 10 minutes. I don't recommend the microwave to reheat as it will make the french toast soggy.

Oh, wow! I make French toast quite often and throw a banana on top. But I never though to make a banana batter! That sounds like such a great idea. I just might have to try that tomorrow!

Such a smart idea! I was thinking you'd mash the banana with a fork, but duh! Of course the blender makes more sense! My daughter would love this!
