Use slices of banana bread for our Banana Bread French Toast recipe! We dredge ours in cornflakes which makes the slices come out with a nice golden crispy texture which is a nice contrast to the tender and soft interior.
Allow banana bread to dry out slightly in open air for about 1 day (you can also place the slices on a baking sheet and place in a 200°F oven for about 3 hours).
In a shallow dish whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg. In another shallow bowl, add the crushed cornflakes.
Dip each slice of bread in the egg mixture then dredge each piece in cornflakes until completely covered.
Place a large nonstick pan or griddle over medium heat and melt 2 tablespoons butter.
Cook French toast on each side for 3 to 4 minutes or until golden brown and crisp.
Drain on paper towels for 1 minute before plating and serving with sliced bananas and maple syrup.
Notes
