For National Sandwich Month who could turn down a traditional breakfast of French Toast made on Abigail's Oven REAL™ Sourdough Bread? And this recipe for Banana and Peanut Butter Stuffed French Toast is a National Winner in the 2022 Old Farmer’s Almanac recipe contest for banana recipes that year.
The Old Farmer’s Almanac says this recipe "…tied for first place in the 2022 […] recipe contest for bananas. We have always enjoyed the combination of peanut butter and bananas (here’s looking at you Elvis!) but turning it into French toast adds a whole new level of deliciousness!"
On our Cinnamon Swirl sourdough, you get to eat two winners in one! Abigail's Oven Cinnamon is our customer choice and the only sweet loaf we bake. It's guaranteed to make delicious French Toast fast for breakfast or brunch.
Here is our version that has been adapted for our award winner Cinnamon Swirl using a few different ingredients.
Banana and Peanut Butter Stuffed French Toast
Ingredients
Directions
- Whisk eggs, half-and-half, together with peanut butter powder (¼ cup peanut butter), sugar, and cinnamon.
- Prepare the bread by spreading the remaining peanut butter on one side of half of the slices of bread.
- Soak all slices of bread in the egg mixture.
- Just before grilling, slice bananas on top of slices covered with the peanut butter, then top each sandwich with the remaining slices.
- Melt butter in a frying pan over medium heat, and grill each sandwich 3–4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. (Sometimes the sugar in our loaves melts out of the bread and caramelizes, so watch for over browning).
- You may opt to serve these drizzled with maple syrup and a sprinkel of confectioners’ sugar, but these are sweet enough on their own.
We hope you enjoy this award winning sandwich for your Sunday breakfast or brunch.
