Oh. My. Goodness. Ladies (and gents), let me share my absolute favorite midnight craving fix that I’ve been guilty of making way too many times! You know those nights when you’re binge-watching your favorite show and suddenly need something absolutely divine? Well, honey, I’ve got you covered with my famous “Sweet & Salty Banana Foster French Toast Bites.”
Trust me, this isn’t your regular boring midnight snack. This is what happens when French toast meets bananas foster, but in cute, poppable bites that’ll make you feel fancy even in your PJs at 2 AM!
What You’ll Need (because we’re fancy like that):
– 4 thick slices of day-old bread
– 1 ripe banana
– 2 eggs
– 1/4 cup milk
– 1 tsp vanilla extract
– 2 tbsp butter
– 2 tbsp brown sugar
– A pinch of cinnamon
– A tiny pinch of salt
– Optional: whipped cream (because why not?)
Now, let me walk you through this heavenly creation:
1. Cut your bread into bite-sized cubes (about 1-inch pieces). Don’t worry if they’re not perfect – we’re not on Master Chef!
1. In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, and vanilla. Dunk those bread cubes in there and let them soak up all that goodness for about 2 minutes.
1. While that’s happening (multi-tasking queen over here!), slice your banana into cute little rounds.

1. In a non-stick pan, melt 1 tbsp of butter over medium heat. Add your soaked bread pieces and cook until golden brown on all sides (about 2-3 minutes per side).
1. Remove the French toast bites and in the same pan, add the remaining butter and brown sugar. Once it starts bubbling (and smelling amazing!), add your banana slices.
1. Let those bananas get all caramelized and gorgeous for about 1 minute on each side.
1. Pile those French toast bites on a plate, top with your caramelized bananas, and if you’re feeling extra (like I always am), add a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon.
And voilà! You’ve just made yourself a midnight snack worthy of a 5-star restaurant! The best part? You can eat this in bed while watching your favorite show (just don’t tell anyone I said that! 😉).
