how to make banana crunch french toast

In a large bowl combine and mix together banana slices, granola, eggs, milk, and ground cinnamon.

Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a small amount of butter or oil to coat the surface.

Dip a slice of bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are fully coated. Let any excess batter drip off.

When skillet is very hot, place the coated bread onto the skillet. Pour about 3 tbsp of the batter (including banana slices and granola) over the top of the bread slice. Cook about 2 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.

Repeat the coating and cooking process with the remaining slices of bread.

Once all the french toast slices are cooked, serve them warm, topped with fresh banana slices and additional granola. Drizzle with maple syrup, honey, or a sprinkle of powered sugar if desired.
