Ingredients
Scale
Banana Bread Waffle French Toast
- 4 thick slices banana bread
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup coconut milk
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- Butter, for cooking
- 1/4 cup shredded coconut, toasted
- Caramel sauce, for drizzling
Instructions
- Preheat the Waffle Iron: Preheat your waffle iron and lightly grease it with butter to ensure the banana bread doesn’t stick during cooking.
- Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, coconut milk, brown sugar, and cinnamon until fully combined and smooth.
- Dip the Banana Bread: Dip each thick slice of banana bread into the egg mixture, making sure it is fully coated but not overly saturated to avoid sogginess.
- Cook in the Waffle Iron: Place the soaked banana bread slices into the preheated waffle iron. Cook until the bread is crisp on the outside and golden brown, approximately 3 to 4 minutes.
- Finish and Serve: Remove the cooked waffle French toast slices, top generously with toasted shredded coconut, and drizzle with caramel sauce. Serve immediately for best taste.
Notes
- Use thick slices of banana bread for the best texture and to prevent breakage during dipping and cooking.
- For an even richer flavor, consider using homemade or high-quality caramel sauce.
- To toast shredded coconut, place it in a dry skillet over medium heat, stirring frequently until golden brown.
- Ensure the waffle iron is well greased each time to prevent sticking.
- Serve with fresh fruit or a dollop of whipped cream for added indulgence.
