This banana cinnamon French toast turns a classic breakfast into something genuinely special. Thick slices of bread dipped in a banana-infused egg mixture spiced with cinnamon, cooked until golden — each piece is custardy inside, caramelized outside, and naturally sweet from the banana. No need for a ton of maple syrup because the banana does most of the sweetening work. It’s a step up from regular French toast with almost no extra effort, making it the perfect choice for any morning when you want breakfast to feel like an event.
- Swap: Use whole grain or brioche bread for different textures — brioche gives you a richer, more dessert-like result.
- Make-ahead: Mix the banana egg batter the night before and refrigerate; give it a stir in the morning before dipping.
- Storage: Cooked French toast keeps in the fridge for 3 days; reheat in a toaster or skillet to restore the crispy exterior.
- Variation: Add a splash of vanilla extract and a pinch of nutmeg to the egg mixture for a more complex, warm spice flavor.
- Serving: Top with fresh banana slices, a light drizzle of maple syrup, and a dusting of cinnamon for a beautiful breakfast plate.
If you know anything about me, you might know I am not a fan of eggs.. I wish I liked them but I just can’t seem to acquire a taste. So I try to get creative when it comes to”egg” type dishes, like your basic french toast. This banana french toast is definitely different but so delicious, and only 5 smart points or 5 points plus for 3 slices.

When you say you do not use the recipe builder, what makes you say that? Is there a difference in the math if you don’t? I was trying to figure out how to log something from your site, so I used the recipe builder and it made it more points than what you said. If I don’t use the recipe builder, I don’t know how to figure points. Haha I’m brand new to your site and new to trying new things for eating! Lol Thanks for any help!! Love the recipes!!!!
Hi Nikki.. I don’t use the recipe builder for a few reasons, one being that I do not count my fruit, weather it be in a recipe or not, it is just what works for me.. If you enter a recipe into the builder with fruit it will give it points.. also I live in Canada and shop in the U.S often and I have seen first hand that products vary in points so I figure out points for each ingredient, add it all up then divide by my yield, it to me is the best and safest way, I always trust my labels over the builder ๐
Made this for breakfast this morning…yum…..I used sugar free syrup …….
Glad you enjoyed it Missy ๐
Another winner for our family!! Thanks so much.
I’m not a big fan of almond milk, can I use skim milk instead??
Sure ๐
