My mom’s Banana Bread Recipe is one of my top recipes on my website. So, this tells me how much you love bananas and coincidentally so do I! We’re going to whip up some caramelized bananas in the pan which takes all of 15 minutes tops. We are going to pour that bubbly mixture over some brioche bread and top it with a simple custard. The result far outweighs the effort and this french toast is good enough to serve on any holiday and since Easter is coming up why not serve it for Easter brunch? You can make this ahead of time or simply toss it all together and toss it in the oven right away. Either way you will go “bananas” for this recipe!

I absolutely love this Vietri Bakers Blue Small Rectangular Serving/Baking Dish! This dish is durable, provides even heat distribution, and it is perfect for your deep dish casserole baking dish needs. I also love that it is dishwasher, microwave, freezer, and oven safe!

Ingredients
  

  • 4 tbsp butter
  • ½ cup brown sugar packed

  • 4 eggs
  • 2 tsp mexican vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 loaf of brioche bread cut into cubes

  2. While the bananas are cooking, in a large bowl add whole milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Whisk that together until combined.
  3. Grease a 9×13 baking dish and add in the cubed up brioche bread. Next pour the caramelized bananas evenly over the top of the bread. Then, evenly pour the custard over the top and gently push the bread down to make sure it is fully coated in the custard.
  4. Let that sit for at least 30 minutes before baking it. Or you can make this the night before, cover the baking dish, pop it in the fridge, and bake the next morning.
  5. Bake it at 350°F for 50 – 55 minutes. Once it is done, let it rest for about 15 minutes before cutting. Serve it with powdered sugar and maple syrup. Enjoy!
