Banana Foster French Toast


I whipped this up just for myself ! Typically, I'll just grab some cereal in the mornings. On weekends I'll make breakfast for the two of us. But I had some bananas I needed to use up and I was SO hungry for french toast. I'd just been out for breakfast the day before and had some wonderful cinnamon french toast so...I guess I just wanted more!

I modified a couple recipes to suit my tastes, using what I had on hand. It was really delicious. In fact, I felt so guilty eating it  ..... I told myself I would make it soon for Brent and share this awesome breakfast. Then I ate it all.
