Ingredients

Caramelized Bananas

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 large bananas , sliced
  • 2 tablespoons light brown sugar , packed
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Croissant French Toast

  • 1 cup milk , any kind (I used 2%)
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste (or vanilla extract)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 4 large croissants , sliced horizontally

Instructions

  • In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat.
  • Add bananas, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Stir lightly to combine. Saute for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until bananas turn golden brown. Remove to a separate plate.
  • Wipe skillet with a damp paper towel and place it back on the burner, turning the burner off.
  • In a large bowl, whisk milk, eggs, white sugar, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and cinnamon.
  • Dunk two croissant slices into egg mixture and press to coat.
  • Place onto skillet and turn the burner back on, cooking over medium heat for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Repeat with remaining croissant slices.
  • Serve croissants with caramelized bananas and a dusting of powdered sugar and maple syrup, if desired.
