I didn’t know that was even a thing until it appeared on the specials menu at my favorite breakfast restaurant, Le Peep! Of course, I was game to try it, and let me tell you, that was an AMAZING life choice! The only problem was that once I had it, I had a serious craving for it for several weeks afterward! Le Peep’s specials are on what appears to be a perpetually rotating schedule of unlimited new dishes, so I knew it would be a while before that deliciousness would be back on the menu. With that kind of craving, I knew I wouldn’t be able to hold out until it made its reappearance, so I decided to whip some up myself! Y’know, for survival purposes! 😉 And once you’ve had this banana pudding French toast, you’ll definitely understand how addictive it is!
My French toast recipe is very different from others I’ve seen. While other recipes call for dipping bread in a mixture including milk, cinnamon, etc., I make French toast by dipping bread in only beaten eggs, then frying with butter until golden. This is my favorite way to make French toast because the simplicity allows the egg flavor to shine! I’m also one of those who douse French toast in powdered sugar, rather than syrup, for the same reason! 😀
So let’s get started! There’s banana pudding French toast to be had! 😀

- Slice your bread as pictured and dip it into the egg mixture.

- Set aside, saute 4 cookies or how many you’d like along with the banana slices, just enough to soften the cookies.
