My 18 month old requests quite a bit of french toast. It's a good way to sneak eggs in her diet. We try to do it with good quality ingredients, so I've been getting a whole loaf from a local baker.
I leave it out for a day or two and then slice, and cut into sticks. For the liquid, I add about 12oz of whole milk, 6 eggs, and 3 bananas that are on their last legs to a blender. Also, a pinch of salt, and about a teaspoon of pumpkin spice seasoning. Blend of medium-low for about 30 seconds.
I let the sticks soak in the liquid for 10 – 15 minutes. I then fry in equal parts butter and high heat olive oil until GBD on at least 2 sides. Better to undercook than overcook because these will be reheated in the air fryer. They freeze well too.
The loaf made 30 sticks (27 after dad tax).

I was wondering where the bananas fit in, neat.
At first I thought it was banana bread but cool way to incorporate the bananas!
Thank you for sharing! I never would have thought to add banana to the eggs, but I think my kids are going to devour this!
My mouth is wateringgg!! That’s amazing!
GBD means what? Golden Brown Done? lol
Looks delicious and I want your cookware
Butter plus whole milk plus eggs seems like a lot of saturated fat.
I think white bread can be considered the equivalent to sugar. Not really what you should give a child that young
That looks delicious!!!
I like this idea… if my kids ever let bananas last long enough they go bad, I’ll absolutely try this lol
