Equipment

  • 1 Blender
  • 1 Wide bowl or pie plate
  • 1 Griddle pan or large frying pan
  • 1 Rigid spatula

Ingredients

  • 1 Loaf Banana bread
  • 3/4 C Canned coconut milk
  • 1 Small to medium ripe banana
  • 1 T Maple syrup
  • 1½ t Vanilla extract
  • 1 t Ceylon Cinnamon Or cinnamon of your choice

Instructions

  • Prepare a loaf of banana bread by slicing into roughly 1 in wide pieces. With a standard 9x11 pan, you should end up with10-12 slices for this recipe.

  • Place a griddle pan or large frying pan on the stove and turn up to medium-low to get the pan heated up.
  • Meanwhile, place all ingredients for the batter into a blender. Blend until it forms a smooth puree.

  • Empty the batter into a pie plate to prepare to smother that bread in the puree.
  • Now, head over to your pan on the stove. Place enough vegan butter or oil into the pan to form a thin layer to prevent excessive sticking.
  • Carefully take one piece of banana bread at a time and drop the bread into the batter, turning once to fully coat each piece of bread. Transfer to the oiled pan until the pan is filled with french toast pieces.
  • The cooking time for each side will differ depending on your pan and heat of the stove. But generally, each side should take around 2 minute per side. When you go to flip the pieces, be careful of the delicate bread as it can sometimes break apart. I find that a metal spatula on cast iron works best.
  • Once done, remove from pan and place on a plate. Repeat the process of smothering the bread in batter and cooking in pan until all pieces are cooked.
  • Serve with vegan butter and syrup.
