Strawberry Banana French Toast

Strawberry Banana French Toast is an incredibly easy breakfast to put together—Crispy, buttery and loaded with fresh fruits.

Strawberry Banana French Toast

I am a huge fan of French toast for breakfast; I also like to serve it with fresh fruits. This strawberry banana French toast is super fruity and soft on the inside and crispy on the outside.

I flavoured it with some warm spices such as cinnamon and nutmeg. I also added a super creamy layer of cream cheese between the bread and the fruit, and it adds an extra level of deliciousness.

The recipe is super easy to make and made with simple ingredients; you don't even have to buy strawberries or bananas; just use whatever fruits you have on hand. I have tested this recipe with different fruits such as raspberry, blueberry and grapes; all work just fine.

You've probably experienced French toast before. But you've probably never experienced cinnamon, cream cheese, nutmeg, strawberry and bananas neatly folded in a French toast and that's exactly what we're here for.

Ingredients

Note: This is an overview of the ingredients. See the recipe card for full information on ingredients and quantities.

Eggs: I use 2 large eggs at room temperature. Make sure to get them out of the fridge 20 minutes before you start prepping.

Milk: I like to use whole milk; it really gives my french toast extra richness. However, you may use non-dairy milk if you want.

Vanilla extract: A little goes a long way.

Ground cinnamon and nutmeg: I like to spice my french toast a bite with these warm spices. I sometimes also add some ground ginger as well.

Bananas: I highly recommend using ripe bananas because it is much sweeter.

Strawberries: I like to chop them into small chunks.

Cream cheese: I used Philadelphia cream cheese.

Toast: I used regular white bread, but any bread will work fine; it's up to you. Some other suggestions are whole wheat or multi-grain bread.

Tip: It is best to use stale bread; it absorbs the custard better.

Butter: I prefer unsalted.

Powdered sugar and maple syrup: For serving. You can use chocolate syrup or Blackberry Simple Syrup instead

How to make Strawberry Banana French Toast?

To begin, start combing the ingredients: In a bowl, mix eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon and nutmeg, set aside.

Now, spread a teaspoon of the cream cheese onto one side of the toast slices.

Now for the star of the recipe: On the other toast slice, sprinkle chopped strawberries and bananas on half of the toast slices. (But don't forget to save some fruit for garnishing).

Bring the two slices of toast together. Place both the slices of toast together, making a sandwich (make sure to keep the cream cheese side down).

Now, Preheat a pan on low to medium heat and grease with butter.

Meanwhile.. Dip sandwiches into the milk mixture, coating all sides.

Tip: If you've made French toast before, you'll know that it can get soggy from the middle. To avoid this, dip the sandwiches for approximately 20 seconds on each side and place them on a different baking sheet and then finally on the pan.

Get Cooking: Place on the skillet and cook for 4 to 5 minutes per side (cook the edges as well).

Finally, Garnish with chopped fruit, maple syrup and sprinkle with powdered sugar. Serve warm.

Serving Suggestions

I like to serve this french toast warm for breakfast with Homemade Caramel Latte and some fresh fruits.

You can also enjoy it at brunch with some Mango Compote.
