Maple Banana French Toast

Who isn’t looking for great tasting, easy and quick breakfast ideas? If it was just me I had to feed, I’d eat either cereal or peanut butter toast on a daily basis, but since I have other mouths to feed, my mornings have become more complicated. My creativity in the morning is quite non-existent, at least until I’ve some coffee, so planning needs to begin at night (thank you Pinterest). Speaking of, that was the hardest part of pregnancy… giving up the coffee. Not looking forward to functioning without it again, and this time, with a little one!

I try to give my babe a fruit at every meal. So Maple Banana French Toast was born. Put that banana right in the batter and you’re good to go. Easy peasy. And what’s even easier is when you make some ahead of time and store them in the freezer. Nothing easier than microwaving a pre-made french toast for 45 seconds.

Adults, kids and babies as young as 6 months old doing baby-led weaning (click here for more info) love Maple Banana French Toast. It’s tasty enough for a holiday morning and easy enough for an everyday morning.

Ingredients

1 ripe banana
1 whole egg
1/4 cup milk of choice (cows, soy, rice, etc...)
1/8 teaspoon mapelene (maple extract)
4 slices cinnamon bread (we use Cinnabon brand)
2 Tablespoons butter

Equipment Needed

Griddle

Instructions

In a medium-sized bowl, smash the banana with the back of the fork till mashed well.
Add egg, milk and mapelene. Mix vigorously. Pour into a shallow dish.
Coat the bread in the mixture (soak for as long as you can).
Melt butter on griddle over medium-high heat.
Place coated breads on griddle and cook until browned on both sides.

Notes

If you don't have/can't find mapelene, vanilla extract will work (but it won't make it taste like you have syrup baked in or make your home smell like syrup for hours on end!)
Babies doing baby-led weaning and kids will enjoy these cut into "fingers".
