BANANA FRENCH TOAST ROLL UPS

It always feels like a special treat to enjoy a sweet breakfast. Typically I’m a savory type of girl when it comes to my morning meal. But I do love to throw in some sweetness every now and then. These banana French toast roll ups definitely do not disappoint.

When I do choose to have a sweet breakfast, I pretty much always add bananas. They are after all, my favorite fruit of all time. I wanted to wrap some up in French toast so that’s exactly what I did. Admittedly, I’m no French toast expert. As a kid I wasn’t a fan so I never ate them. Bread dipped in eggs wasn’t appealing to me. It wasn’t until I was an adult that I became interested in them, so I’m a little delayed in my French toast game.

It took a while to master French toast making. It’s difficult to get them perfect. In the beginning mine always came out crispy on the edges and soggy in the middle. It took a lot of trial and error to get them just right. I find this recipe is pretty beginner-friendly. Cutting out the crust makes it fail-proof.

Essentially I made French toast sticks with bananas inside. Let me tell you, when I see these are delicious, its an understatement. Words can’t describe how good they are. Yum.
