Peanut Butter Stuffed French Toast
Description
Peanut Butter Stuffed French Toast features thick bread slices spread generously with peanut butter and layered with bananas before being dipped in an egg and milk mixture flavored with vanilla, cinnamon, and maple syrup. Cooking on a greased pan at medium-low heat forms a crisp outer crust while keeping the center soft and moist. The cinnamon and vanilla add warmth, complementing the fruity sweetness of the bananas and the richness of the peanut butter.
This stuffed French toast can be served with additional fresh fruit, whipped cream, or maple syrup for extra flavor and presentation. Its filling and texture make it suitable as a filling breakfast or brunch item that offers a satisfying combination of creamy, sweet, and mildly spiced notes.
Substitutions like almond butter or sunflower butter can accommodate different preferences or allergies. The recipe recommends thick slices of bread such as Texas toast or brioche to hold the filling without falling apart during dipping and cooking. Leftovers should be refrigerated and reheated in an oven or toaster oven to preserve texture, avoiding microwaving to prevent sogginess.
Ingredients
- ¾ cup milk almond, oat, or cow’s
- 2 large egg
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ - 1 teaspoon cinnamon based on your flavor preference
- ½ - ⅔ cup peanut butter crunchy or creamy
- 2 banana sliced
- 10 - 12 lices bread I highly recommend Texas toast or brioche, your favorite variety
Instructions
- In a shallow bowl, whisk together milk, eggs, maple syrup, cinnamon, and vanilla extract.
- Heat a pan on the stovetop over medium-low heat.
- Meanwhile, spread a thick and even layer of peanut butter on half of the bread slices (about 2 - 3 tablespoon each). Place a small amount on the second slice to help the bananas stick.
- Evenly place banana slices on the second piece of bread (the one with only a small amount of peanut butter). Create sandwiches and lightly press down to secure.
- Grease the heated pan or griddle with a little butter.
- Dip both sides of the sandwiches into the milk mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated. ONLY dip when you are ready to place onto the heated pan. If you’re cooking in batches, then wait to dip the sandwiches.
- Add the sandwiches to the heated pan and cook for 2 - 4 minutes on each side, until golden brown with slightly crispy edges.
- Remove from heat, cut in half, and top with fresh bananas, strawberries, whipped cream, and/or maple syrup. Enjoy!
Notes
- Use thick bread slices like Texas toast or brioche for better structural integrity when stuffed and soaked.
- Experiment with different fillings such as almond butter, Nutella, or various fruits to customize flavors.
- Store leftover French toast in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 1-2 days.
- Reheat leftovers in a preheated oven at 350°F for 8-10 minutes or use a toaster oven; avoid microwaving to prevent soggy texture.
