Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 bananas, thinly sliced
- 2/3 cup maple syrup
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 3 cups cornflakes, crushed
- 4 slices Texas toast, halved on the diagonal
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Combine 1 tablespoon butter, the bananas and maple syrup in a small saucepan and bring to a bare simmer over medium heat; keep warm.
- Whisk the eggs, milk and sugar in a shallow dish. Put the crushed cornflakes in another shallow dish. Soak the bread in the egg mixture, turning once, about 45 seconds. (Remove before the bread is soggy.) Let the excess egg mixture drip off, then dredge the bread in the cornflakes, pressing gently to help them adhere. Set aside on a plate.
- Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add half of the bread and cook until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a baking sheet. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon butter to the skillet and repeat with the remaining bread. Transfer to the oven and bake until cooked through, about 10 minutes. Top with the banana syrup.

Delicious! I used cream in lieu of milk and added a dash of cinnamon (looked at Michaels Chew recipe) but either way it is very good —I think putting it in the oven great it keeps it all very warm, usually when you have French toast or pancakes it gets to room temp too fast not this … you could feed a group and it is still warm, the bananas in the warm syrup is decadent
My town is known for it’s captain crunch french toast. This recipe is perfect for tweaking and making your own version. I substituted captain crunch for corn flakes. I also used fresh sliced french or italian loaf bread because texas toast is not carried in most grocery stores around here. And instead of syrup, top with fresh berries and other fruits that are seasonal and whipped cream. Amazing.
This French toast was really tasty my husband and I loved the crunch from the corn flakes and the sugar in the egg mixture cartelized really perfectly. I did do two things differently I used berries and I did not put it in the oven and we still liked it!
