Cozy banana baked French toast that’s soft, sweet, and full of flavor! Easy to make, great for brunch or holidays, and perfect with maple syrup.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 loaf sliced cinnamon swirl bread (cubed)
- 3 small bananas (sliced)
- 1/2 cup miniature chocolate chips
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Maple syrup (for serving)
- 1/4 cup old fashioned oats
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter (cut into cubes)
Instructions
- Lightly coat a 9-inch square baking dish with nonstick spray. Place 1/3rd of the bread cubes evenly into the baking dish. Top with 1 sliced banana and about 1/3rd of the chocolate chips. Repeat with the remaining ingredients for 2 more layers.
- In a large bowl, whisk together milk, eggs, butter, and vanilla. Pour mixture evenly over the bread cubes. Gently press down to make sure the bread is mostly covered with the custard mixture. Cover and place in the refrigerator for several hours or overnight.
- Preheat oven to 350º F.
- To make the oatmeal topping, combine oats, sugar, and cold butter, using your fingers to work the butter into the dry ingredients until it resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle the oatmeal topping evenly over the bread cubes.
- Place into the oven and bake for 35-45 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Serve immediately, drizzled with syrup, if desired.
