Yes, I know the title is a ridiculous mouthful. But how else could I describe this delicious mouthful of food goodness?

A few of you agreed that banana bread French toast sounded like a good idea, and boy were we right. This is so good. Every bite feels so wrong and so right at the same time, but mostly so right.

Banana bread French toast is already so decadent and delicious as is, all you really need is a little maple syrup and maybe some fresh, sliced bananas. But if you want to go all out, bananas foster is the perfect topping.

To make this dish even more perfect, don’t forget the sprinkle of chunky, sea salt! You might not be able to see it in the photos, but the salt makes this extra special. You can’t beat a salty-sweet combo.

Now, you have no excuse to waste leftover banana bread, or any quick bread, at that. You’re welcome.
