A lighter take on french toast featuring subtle a sweetness from sauteing the bananas, a sense of warmth from the spices & a crispy outside. Yet, extremely soft, pillowy on the inside. If you ask me, this is the most perfect texture combination. Next time someone tells you french toast cannot be healthy, think again. This healthy banana bread french toast is not only a hearty and delicious breakfast, but it is packed full of flavor. No flavor sacrifices over here!

Let’s talk substitutions!

Sourdough: this meal can easily be made gluten free with your favorite gluten free sourdough or bread of choice. If using frozen, make sure it is thawed out or at least refrigerator temperature. My favorite sourdough is either the San Francisco Style Sourdough from Trader Joe’s or Wegman’s Organic Sourdough. As for gluten free, I love Canyon Bakehouse!
Almond milk: you can easily replace with regular milk, soy, oat, etc. If you are using a vanilla flavored milk, disregard the splash of vanilla
Coconut oil: I love sauteing bananas in coconut oil flavor wise, but melted butter would work as well.
Egg whites: you can replace with 1 egg
