Instructions & Methods
1️⃣ Prepare the Bread
- Remove the crusts from the sandwich bread slices for a smooth roll-up.
- Using a rolling pin, flatten each slice gently to make it easier to roll.
2️⃣ Assemble the Roll-Ups
- Spread 1–2 teaspoons of peanut butter on each flattened slice.
- Place 2–3 banana slices along one edge of the bread.
- Roll the bread tightly around the banana, securing the filling inside.
3️⃣ Make the Egg Mixture
- In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, cinnamon, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
4️⃣ Dip and Cook
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
- Dip each roll-up in the egg mixture, coating evenly on all sides.
- Place in the skillet and cook for 2–3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and slightly crispy.
5️⃣ Serve and Garnish
- Remove from skillet and let cool slightly.
- Sprinkle with powdered sugar, drizzle with maple syrup or honey, and add optional toppings like nuts or chocolate chips.
History & Formation
French toast, sometimes called “eggy bread,” has been around for centuries, with references as far back as the Roman Empire, where bread was soaked in milk and eggs before frying. The modern French toast we know today gained popularity in Europe and America as a way to use up stale bread, transforming it into a decadent breakfast dish.
Adding bananas and peanut butter is a more contemporary twist, inspired by the love of combining creamy peanut butter with naturally sweet fruit. Rolling them into bite-sized pieces makes them easy to eat, kid-friendly, and perfect for parties or brunch gatherings.
