Let me start out by letting you know that is definitely a splurge sort of meal. It was heavenly delicious, but very rich and filling. I think it would be great for brunch where you are combining two meals.
Peanut Butter French Toast with Caramelized Bananas
Yield: 4 peanut butter french toast sandwiches
Ingredients:
- Texas Toast – 8 slices
- Peanut Butter
- 4 eggs
- 2/3 cup milk
- 2 teaspoons of cinnamon
Ingredients for Caramel Bananas
- 2 ripe but firm bananas, sliced diagonally
- 2 Tbsp butter
- 4 Tbsp brown sugar, packed
- dash of cinnamon
Directions:
- Make a Peanut Butter sandwich with two pieces of the Texas Toast and set aside.
- Whisk together the eggs, milk, and 2 teaspoons of cinnamon in a small bowl.
- Dip each side of the peanut butter sandwich in the egg mixure.
- Cook the peanut butter sandwich on a hot and buttered griddle for 3-4 minutes each side.
- While the Peanut Butter french toast is cooking start making your caramel bananas. Peel and slice the bananas on the diagonal.
- Add the butter and brown sugar to a skillet. Melt the two together on medium-high heat and stir to combine them.
- Add the bananas in a single layer to the skillet. After 2-3 minutes, flip the bananas over one at a time. Cook an additional 2-3 minutes or until the bananas are light brown but not mush.
- Remove the peanut butter french toast sandwich from the griddle and top with the caramel bananas.
I really wanted to show you a picture of what the peanut butter french toast looks like before the bananas. The peanut butter is all melted and gooey. It would be amazing on it’s own.
I really hope you get to try out this recipe, you will not be disappointed! It was so delicious, I want to run back into the kitchen and make it again.
I had all the ingredients at home so I made it this morning for 1 dividing all the ingredients by four. It was fabulous! Thanks so much for sharing the recipe!
I tried to find your email on here to email this to you instead of posting as a comment, but I couldn’t find it. This recipe looks delicious & I would love you to link it up at this week’s Food Holiday Link Party at my blog. The theme this week is peanuts in honor of National Peanut Month, so this recipe totally fits the bill! http://www.ratetheplateutah.com/2013/03/food-holiday-link-party-national-peanut.html Thanks!
Oh my this would be absolutely amazing!
Wow, this looks amazing! I love the combination of peanut butter and banana. Definitely trying this out soon!!

This looks just so sinful that I am going to HAVE to try it! I mean it’s bananas and peanut butter, could it really be that bad for you?! Gonna have to try it with gluten free bread how ever but I’ll be posting the results! Thank you!
Oh YUM!!!!
My hubby makes THE best french toast. I’ll have to slip him this recipe!
wow, thats a special treat!
I’m going to have to try this. Love peanut butter and banana
I skipped the caramelized bananas (because it’s not my favorite thing and the only bananas in the house right now are BLACK) and I skipped the cinnamon in the custard for the french toast (personal preference) but I used this idea to make myself a little peanut butter french toast for dinner tonight and it is delicious (I actually put it down to write this real quick). I’m thinking I’d love a french toasted PB&J, so I’m going to try that next time…and I’ll be caramelizing bananas for my husband when I make this for him (he’s at work tonight and the kids shrieked when I threatened to *COOK* their peanut butter sandwiches!).
