I made this for my mother on Mother's Day. She loved it. If you like Banana Bread then this is a great recipe. It puts a kick on French Toast. The condensed milk made it taste Great. I added a few walnuts on top along with the powdered sugar. I suggest not putting as much powdered sugar as you would on regular French toast...It might be too sweet.
I made this recipe on Christmas morning because I needed to use up a partial can of sweetened condensed milk. Delicious -- what a treat! I used a homemade loaf of sour cream banana bread and cut it into about 3/4" slices rather than quarters.
I wanted to test this so that if we have some banana bread around that's getting a little old we have some way to use it.:) What I did: I didn't want to open a can of sweetened condensed milk for a couple tablespoons (I did a 2/3 size batch) so I used milk plus some sugar instead. I whisked the milk sugar eggs and vanilla together then stuck the bowl in the fridge for a bit while eating dinner. I cut two slices about 3/4 to 1-inch thick dipped fried ate. Yum! I put a little Country Crock on the end product the icing sugar was unnecessary (already very sweet). Thanks for a great snack idea!
We had seen this at IHOP and thought we'd try it at home since we had a loaf of banana bread to use. I used regular milk and diluted the eggs more than the recipe called for based on personal preference (my husband isn't a big fan of eggs!!):) I added a little cinnamon to the batter as well. It only needed a little confectioners sugar and was very good! Rich and very tasty. I added a little fresh banana slices to top them off.
This recipe is wonderful! Like another reviewer I used milk and sugar instead of condensed milk. This is going to become a weekend staple in our home.
What an inventive idea! LBR8 you rock! This has become a family stable in our house my 7yo loves this! (In pictured photo I used banana bread baked in coffee cans that is why it is round). I don't use the Eagle Brand either I use reg. milk.
I love banana bread and french toast so it was only natural that I try this recipe. The condensed milk really made the recipe - the batter stuck on really well. This dish is also great cold with fresh sliced strawberries on top. The only advice I have is to not slice the bread too thick as the batter cooks up fairly quickly.
I admit I was skeptical when I found this recipe - I didn't think that banana bread would make good french toast. WOW. It is really good! I had a loaf of banana bread that was a little heavy and dry - this is the perfect way to use it up! Thanks for the recipe!
Yummmm. So good. I had condensed milk in my pantry but did not want to open a can for just a few TBLS. I had fat free half and half in fridge so I used that with 2 TBLS sugar in place of the condensed. I also added 1 tsp. cinnamon to the mixture. This was good. My family liked it and I would not hesitate to serve to guests for breakfast.
This turned out awful. I did just as the recipe specified and all I ended up with was a gooey mass in the frying pan. I'm upset that I wasted these ingredients.
