Sweet and bursting with fall flavors, this Banana Bread French Toast is perfect for Saturday mornings!
If you’re looking for Paleo breakfast comfort food, this is it! All the warmth of banana bread is amplified when you coat it in a cinnamon-spiced egg wash and fry it in a skillet. Plus, if you have banana bread that’s going stale, now is the perfect time to make this recipe!
Start by baking this easy Paleo banana bread. It’s lightly sweetened with honey and bursting with the natural sweetness of bananas. We recommend making the banana bread a day or two before, since it makes for better toast and it saves on time in the morning. However, if you do make the banana bread the same day, be sure to fully cool the bread for several hours at room temperature. This way the bread is hard enough to withstand the French toast cooking process.
