Bananas Foster French Toast is topped with sticky sweet banana slices and a brown sugar and rum syrup. Such an indulgent breakfast. Perfect for Mardi Gras or anytime you want a taste of New Orleans.

 
Bananas Foster is usually served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Instead of ice cream, I like to top this French toast with whipped cream. Absolutely divine!
There are three steps to this recipe:

Make the syrup.
Caramelize the banana slices.
Cook the French toast.

The bread slices are cooked in a combination of butter and oil. The butter adds flavor and the oil helps keep the butter from burning.

 
Bananas Foster French Toast Recipe Tips:

I like to use Challah bread for this recipe, but Texas toast or a sturdy white bread can be used instead. It is best if the bread is a couple of days old and a little stale. This way it absorbs the egg custard better.
Use bananas that are just barely ripe. There shouldn’t be any black sopts on them. If they are too ripe, they will fall apart when they cook.
If you aren’t ready to eat right away, keep the French toast slices warm in a 200 degree oven.
If you don’t want to use rum, you can use a little rum extract instead.
To prevent your French toast from being soggy, don’t dip it in the egg mixture for too long.
If you want to add some pecans to this recipe, they can be added to the pan when you cook the bananas.
