Ingredients

• 4 slices of bread (brioche or thick white bread works best)

• 2 eggs

• 1 ripe banana (½ for batter, ½ for topping)

• ½ cup milk (or any milk alternative)

• 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)

• ½ tsp cinnamon (optional but tasty)

• Butter for frying

• Maple syrup (for serving)

Instructions

1. Make the batter

   • Mash ½ of the banana in a bowl until smooth.

   • Add eggs, milk, cinnamon, and vanilla.

   • Whisk together until well combined.

2. Dip the bread

   • Heat a pan over medium and melt a little butter.

   • Dip each slice of bread into the banana batter, coating both sides (don’t soak too long or it gets soggy).

3. Cook

   • Place dipped bread on the pan.

   • Cook 2–3 minutes per side, until golden brown.

4. Serve

   • Slice the remaining banana and place on top.

   • Drizzle with maple syrup.

   • Add powdered sugar if you want it extra pretty.
