Cookbook: Nutella & Banana Stuffed French Toast

For some reason, I had an overwhelming desire to make french toast this weekend. But not just any french toast—Nutella and banana stuffed french toast. This breakfast dish was a big hit with Andrew (we both have a bit of a sweet tooth) and would also be perfect for a cute Valentine's Day brunch ♥

Nutella & Banana Stuffed French Toast 

(adapted from Just a Taste)

Ingredients:

8 thick slices of bread (I used Van de Camp's "French Toast")

about ¼ cup Nutella hazelnut spread

2 ripe bananas

¾ cup low-fat milk

4 brown eggs, lightly beaten

2 teaspoons cinnamon

a dash of salt

butter, for frying

maple syrup (if desired) for serving

Directions:

Heat griddle/frying pan over medium heat, and melt butter for frying

Take two pieces of bread and lightly spread Nutella on each piece

Place sliced banana pieces on one piece of bread, and put the two pieces together to create a sandwich

(repeat this three more times until you have four french toast "sandwiches")

Beat four eggs in a large bowl and add milk, cinnamon, and salt

Place each sandwich in the batter and allow each side to soak for about 10 seconds

Place the batter-soaked sandwich on the griddle and cook each side for about 3 minutes, or until the egg batter is fully cooked. To reduce burning, flip the french toast occasionally!

Serve with extra banana slices and maple syrup if desired

Enjoy a delicious (and very sweet) breakfast :)
