Oh my goodness, ladies and gents, let me tell you about this absolutely divine breakfast recipe that’s been making my family beg for seconds every single weekend! Trust me, once you try these Caramelized Banana French Toast Rolls, you’ll never look at breakfast the same way again.
Let’s get real – we all love our basic French toast, but honey, it’s time to level up! This recipe combines the comfort of traditional French toast with a twist that’ll make your taste buds dance. And the best part? It’s actually easier than it looks (I promise!).
What You’ll Need:
– 8 slices of soft white bread (crusts removed)
– 2 ripe bananas
– 3 eggs
– 1/2 cup milk
– 1 tsp vanilla extract
– 2 tbsp brown sugar
– 1 tsp cinnamon
– 3 tbsp butter
– Maple syrup for serving
– Optional: whipped cream (because why not?)
Now, let me walk you through this magic, step by step:
1. First, grab those bread slices and flatten them with a rolling pin. Don’t be shy – show them who’s boss!
1. Slice your bananas into thin pieces. Pro tip: slightly underripe bananas actually work better here, as they won’t turn mushy.
1. Mix your eggs, milk, and vanilla in a shallow dish. In another small bowl, mix the brown sugar and cinnamon.

1. Now for the fun part! Place banana slices on each flattened bread piece, sprinkle with the cinnamon-sugar mixture, and roll them up tightly. Seal the edges by pressing firmly.
1. Dip each roll in the egg mixture, making sure it’s well-coated. Don’t let them soak too long – we’re not making bread soup here! 😉
1. Heat your butter in a pan over medium heat. Once it’s bubbling (but not brown), add your rolls seam-side down.
1. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they’re golden brown and crispy. The smell at this point… heaven!
Serve these bad boys hot, drizzled with maple syrup and a dollop of whipped cream if you’re feeling fancy (and let’s be honest, when are we not?).
Listen, I can’t even tell you how many times I’ve made this for brunches, and every single time, people lose their minds over it. It’s that perfect mix of crispy exterior and soft, warm, banana-ey goodness inside.
