Bananas Foster French Toast Bake: The Ultimate Breakfast Recipe

Ingredients

• cooking spray
• 1 loaf French bread, cut diagonally into 1-inch slices
• 1.5 cups half-and-half
• 6 eggs, slightly beaten
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 3 large bananas, cut diagonally into 1/2-inch slices
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 2 tablespoons light corn syrup

Instructions

1. Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray. Place bread slices in a single layer in the dish. In a bowl, whisk together half-and-half, eggs, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt. Pour the mixture evenly over the bread. Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight.
2. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
3. Remove the plastic wrap. Arrange sliced bananas evenly over the soaked bread. In a separate bowl, combine brown sugar, melted butter, and corn syrup. Drizzle this mixture evenly over the bananas and bread.
4. Bake in the preheated oven until the French toast is golden brown and set in the center, approximately 40 minutes.
