  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup milk dairy or almond milk
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sweetener or sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup cream cheese

  • 1/3 cup confectioners’ sugar

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Step 1: Prepare the cream cheese mixture. In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, Greek yogurt, and confectioners’ sugar. Use a hand mixer or whisk to blend until smooth. Set aside.
  2. Step 2: Make the egg mixture. In another bowl, mash the large banana until creamy. Add the egg, milk, granulated sweetener, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Whisk until well-combined and slightly frothy.
  3. Step 3: Dip the bread. Take each slice of bread and dip it into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are well-coated. Allow excess to drip off.
  4. Step 4: Cook the French toast. Heat a frying pan or griddle over medium heat with oil or butter. Cook dipped bread slices for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  5. Step 5: Assemble and serve. Spread a generous amount of cream cheese mixture between two slices to create a sandwich. Top with banana slices and sprinkle with pecans. Drizzle with maple syrup if desired.

Notes

  • Add chocolate chips to the cream cheese filling for extra decadence.
  • Let bread soak in the egg mixture for 1-2 minutes for more flavor.
  • Keep cooked French toast warm in a low oven while finishing the remaining slices.
  • Serve with toppings like whipped cream or fresh berries for a fruity twist.
