Did not turn out the way the recipe describes. Mashed bananas do not cook in 8 minutes. Bread was mushy.

This was pretty good, but I feel like it could be a lot better. I feel like there was a bit too much vanilla extract. I could literally smell the vanilla when it was cooking. Also, too much banana. I used only half a banana per serving and it still seemed like a bit too much, almost overpowering. Just make sure to cook it completely on the skillet before you bake it, because the baking only serves to melt the banana and make the french toast a little fluffy, not to actually cook it. I would suggest to just use your favorite french toast recipe, put bananas in the middle, and then bake it. Also, put whatever you want in the middle. You can use chocolate chips, strawberries, walnuts, or any other toppings you desire. Don't restrict yourselves to just banana! :)

I expected to like this more than i did. :/ Something was just off with how the banana melded with the french toast.

Absolutely yummy! I halved the recipe and made this with 4 slices of heavy brown bread, used a bit more than quarter cup of skim milk, doubled the vanilla and cinnamon, and used only one sliced banana. I skipped the pan, and baked it on one side for 15 minutes, then flipped and baked the other side for 6 minutes. Perfection. A healthy sandwich that totally met my craving for something sweet. Plan on making more and freezing.

This was very good!! I like to make recipes healthy so I used whole grain wheat bread, skim milk and egg beaters and it tasted awesome. My only complaint was that, like others have said, there is not enough egg mixture so next time I will make a little more of it. I topped mine with sugar free syrup, a little sugar free reddi-whip and an extra sprinkle of cinnamon.....delicious!

I made these and thought how awsome these would be if I added walnuts, for crunch, so I did and the whole family went "bananas" over this French Toast! Will make again for sure, thanks.
