Banana Bread French Toast

Happy New Year...now that it's already March.  I've taken a bit of a blogging break, but I'm back ready to get cooking and experimenting with all kinds of new recipes.


I've had the idea of making French bread with banana bread for awhile now, although, I'm sure it's been done before.  Use any kind of breakfast bread, strawberry or zucchini bread would work well also.


1/2 loaf banana bread, sliced into 1" slices
2 eggs
1 TBSP whole milk
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp vanilla
Butter
Maple syrup
Powdered sugar 


Beat eggs, milk, cinnamon and vanilla together in a bowl large enough to accommodate dredging bread slices.  In a large skillet melt a pad of butter; add slices of dredged banana bread and fry both sides until golden in color.  Place a slice or two on a plate.  Top with a pad of butter, warmed maple syrup and a light dusting of powdered sugar.  Serve warm.
