I’m totally a carb for breakfast kind of person.
You’ll usually find me with oatmeal, pancakes, toast, waffles, bagel, or muffin for breakfast. Every once in a while I’ll have an egg or something else for breakfast. But it’s not very often. That’s why my hubby and I work out so well together. He’s the eggs for breakfast guys and I’m the sweet carby breakfast girl. So of course I sneak a few bites of eggs, bacon, carne adovada, or sausage from his plate.
And can I just say that any breakfast food that is served with syrup totally make my mouth water and gets me weak in the knees.
Literally.
I love, love, love syrupy breakfasts.
And this Sunday I had a gigantic craving for a bite sized, finger food, syrup laden breakfast treat.
I fell asleep on Saturday night dreaming of French toast sticks. And child labor. No joke. My brain is obviously all over the place and my dreams are being influenced by my huge life priorities. The child labor is a given, but who knew French toast sticks were so high up on the list.
I used to be a Sonic French Toast Stick freak. I absolutely loved those things. So I almost just went for a good ole plain French toast stick covered in powdered sugar sprinkling. But then I saw the bundle [bundle?] of bananas on the countertop when I went to grab my bread. Bananas with French toast = a no brainer…but anytime I have bananas I have to have peanut butter.
So that was that.
Bread, slathered with peanut butter, topped with bananas slices, and cooked to a golden crisp. I guess now that I’ve got French toast sticks off the brain, all that’s left is the child labor. Help me.
Ingredients
- 4 slices of bread [I used Udi's Gluten Free]
- 3 tablespoons peanut butter
- 1 banana, sliced
- 1 egg
- 1 egg white
- 4 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
Instructions
- Spread peanut butter over two of the slices of bread. Place banana sliced on top of peanut butter, then cover each slice with the other slices of bread. So now yous should have two peanut butter and banana sandwiches.
- Heat a medium skillet over medium high heat.
- In a medium bowl whisk together the egg, egg white, milk, cinnamon, and vanilla. Dunk each sandwich in the egg batter, flipping over a few times to make sure the whole sammy is good and soaked. Place sandwiches in the skillet and cook for 3 to 4 minutes on one sides, or until sandwiches are golden brown. Flip the sandwiches over and cook for another 3 to 4 minutes or until golden brown. Remove sandwiches from skillet and place on a cutting board. Cut the sandwiches in to 4 even strips, creating the French toast sticks. Serve up with some powdered sugar and maple syrup.

We’re on the same page today with our pb & banana, eh? This looks fabulous! I love the dunking idea too…that just makes eating it all the more fun!
Whoa! Yummy. This would be such a hit with my kids!
Is there anything better than PB & Banana??
These look awesome! Peanut butter and banana toast is one of my all time favorite things. I’ll have to try these. And dunk them in syrup in a shot glass? Seems like the perfect dunking apparatus
I’ve never thought about stuffing french toast before – what a great idea!
wow! Carb heaven
I just went to Costa Rica and ate at a restaurant that served something very similar to this. They called it the Elvis French Toast. It was out of this world! I can only imagine that your recipe is just as wonderful. I’m right there with you in loving carby breakfasts with lots of extra syrup on the side.
Haha I love that the syrup is in what looks like a tall shot glass. These look delicious.
I’m a carby breakfast person too. I adore stuffed french toast and pb and bananas are one of my favorite combos!

Stuffed french toast is the best, especially when stuffed with bananas and peanut butter!
