Ladies (and gents), let me tell you about a breakfast recipe that’s going to make your taste buds dance and your family think you’ve secretly enrolled in culinary school! Trust me, this Caramelized Banana French Toast with Whipped Maple Butter is about to become your new weekend obsession.
Y’all, I discovered this recipe during one of those lazy Sunday mornings when regular French toast just wasn’t cutting it anymore. And honey, let me tell you – this is what breakfast dreams are made of!
What You’ll Need:
– 6 thick slices of brioche bread (because we’re fancy like that!)
– 3 ripe bananas
– 3 large eggs
– 1 cup whole milk
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1/4 cup brown sugar
– 2 tablespoons butter
– Pinch of cinnamon and nutmeg
– Pinch of salt
For the Whipped Maple Butter:
– 1 stick unsalted butter (room temperature)
– 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
– Pinch of sea salt
Okay queens, here’s how we make magic happen:
1. First, let’s make that heavenly whipped maple butter. Beat the room temperature butter until fluffy (about 2 minutes), then slowly add maple syrup and salt. Beat until well combined and set aside. (Pro tip: make extra – you’ll thank me later! 😉)
1. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and a pinch of salt. This is your French toast batter, and it’s about to change your life!
1. Here’s where it gets good – slice those bananas on a diagonal (makes them look extra fancy), and sprinkle them with brown sugar.
1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat, add a tablespoon of butter, and let those sugar-coated bananas caramelize until they’re golden brown (about 2-3 minutes per side).

1. Now, dip each slice of brioche into your egg mixture, making sure both sides are well-coated but not soggy (nobody likes soggy French toast, am I right?).
1. In the same skillet (after wiping it clean), melt remaining butter and cook your French toast until golden brown on both sides (about 2-3 minutes per side).
To serve, layer those gorgeous slices with the caramelized bananas, add a generous dollop of that heavenly whipped maple butter, and drizzle with extra maple syrup if you’re feeling extra indulgent (which you should be!).
Let me tell you, sweeties – when I served this to my family, there was complete silence at the table. You know it’s good when nobody’s talking because they’re too busy eating!
