Delicious Banana French Toast You Can Make in the Instant Pot
What do you do with bananas that are still usable, but getting spotty? Well, generally I make banana bread for my husband to take to work or freeze them to make smoothies as a healthy snack for my kids. Sometimes I’ll mash them for a peanut butter and banana sandwich (yum!).
I decided to try a new, fresh recipe to make in my Instant Pot. I wanted something I could easily make for breakfast, sweet enough as a dessert, but could also be made into a snack.
I came up with this Banana French Toast recipe. Let me be the first tell you, it is good! This one gives my peach cobbler a run for the money and is already one of our favorites!
