Banana Stuffed French Toast

Read Reviews (26)

"Kids and adults alike love this, and it is easy to do, but something different. Serve with warmed maple syrup." — Sherbg

Directions

Create a pocket about 2/3 of the way into each slice of bread by cutting along an edge. Fill pockets with 2 or 3 banana slices each.
In a medium bowl, beat together eggs, water, milk, vanilla extract, orange liqueur and orange zest. Dip the bread slices in the mixture, allowing slices to become saturated.
Melt butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Place a few slices at a time in the skillet, and cook, turning once, until both sides are golden brown. Dust with confectioners' sugar to serve.

I didn't have any French bread so I just put the bananas between two pieces of regular bread. It worked fairly well but the French bread would work better.

This recipe was great! I left out the orange zest and liquor and put cinnamon powder in there instead. It was wonderful!!!

These are sooo goooood. I did not follow the recipe exactly because I did not have all the ingredient on hand. I skipped the zest and liquor. I use evaporated milk and egg, dash of vanilla and cinnamon, lightly soak the banana stuffed french bread in the mixture (more like dip two side and let them sit for a few mins, coz I dont like soggy mushy french toast) ,cook them on butter, and sprinkle them with powder sugar. VERY YUMMY even with my not so professional version. Just imagine with EVERYTHING the ingredient call for!

My family loved this recipe! I used almond liqueur instead of the orange (it was what I had)and left out the orange zest. It was beautiful and got cheers all around! Thanks :-)

This was a great french toast recipe even without the bananas. I made a few slices with the bananas and a few without and they both were excellent. The banana filled slices were good but but I actually preferred the ones I made plain. I just added a little nutmeg and cinnamon and excluded the orange liqueur and zest and it came out fantastic. I will definitely make this recipe again.

I've made this twice- once without zest and once with texas toast bread- both times it was fantastic! My husband, son and I all love it.
