Banana French Toast Made Simple
Skip the dipping, dunking and frying with this mess-free French Toast casserole that comes together easily. To make it, combine melted light butter and coconut sugar, then pour it into a baking pan. Slice up bananas and arrange the slices on the bottom of the pan.
Next, cut up multigrain bread into cubes and add them to the pan. Whisk together eggs, unsweetened almond milk, cinnamon, vanilla extract and coconut sugar and then pour the mixture evenly over the bread cubes.
Cover and refrigerate the casserole for up to four hours. Bake it in a 350-degree oven for 45 minutes uncovered or until it’s cooked through. The last step is to flip the casserole over so that the banana layer is on top. Slice it up and serve it up to your hungry family!
