I love making easy, delicious, and pretty recipes like this Bananas Foster French toast. Like they say in Mexico “de la vista nace el amor” which basically means that when something looks good, you are immediately attracted to it. I think that this saying can be applied to food as well! This Bananas Foster French toast recipe is absolutely delicious and you won’t be able to stop eating it!
Last year my husband planned a weekend escape for our anniversary. He secretly planned everything, from who would watch the boys, to the fancy dinner, to a couples massage, and a nice hotel, all as an amazing surprise for me. Let me tell you, it was a very relaxing weekend and we were able to try some great restaurants too. The restaurant that we went to for breakfast was beautifully decorated and was a great environment. That is where we first tried Banana’s Foster french toast, which is what I ordered. It was so delicious and I couldn’t stop eating it even though it was a very large portion!
Those that know me know that, being from Mexico, I love spicy, savory foods. I like sweets too, but they always come second. For example, sometimes I will buy ice cream thinking that I will be eating it soon, and a few days later when I am ready to eat I come to find that my husband already finished it off days earlier! All that said, there are some sweet recipes that I can’t stop eating, and Bananas Foster French toast is now one of them, and it is quickly becoming a favorite. We have been regularly making it, and including it in our “breakfast in bed” birthday traditions. We simply love it!
I hope that you will try this recipe on one of those lazy days where everyone is at home, relaxing and spending time as a family. The secret to making this Bananas Foster french toast is having nice, thick bread, and making the Bananas Foster sauce very carefully so that it doesn’t burn. Some people add rum to the recipe, but I don’t like it, so this recipe does not include it – and in my opinion it doesn’t affect the flavor at all!

Notes
When it says 1/2 brown sugar, I’m assuming it means 1/2 cup? Just thought I’d check! Going to make this right now!
Yes, that is correct. Thanks for checking! I will update the recipe
Making this for my wife for Mothers Day, but my kids will certainly want some. How many does this recipe serve?
Hi Stephen! I hope she loves it! These amounts should be enough for about 4 – 5 pieces of French Toast. Good luck!
I am also Gonna make this for Mother’s Day. For the sauce, does the whipping cream the recipe says go in the sauce with everything else as well?
Hi Kayla! Yes, the whipping cream should be stirred in with the rest of the ingredients in the 4th step listed. Just to be clear, this is whipping cream in the liquid form – not whipped cream like Cool Whip or anything like that. Although this is great served with whipped cream on top as well. Hope that helps and that it turns out great for you! 🙂
I love this I just made this for an early mother’s day brunch my nephews could not stop eatting this lol and I want to give u a 5 star rating for this recipe it was that good and easy to make!
Thank you so much Christina! I am so glad that it turned out so well for you 🙂
We just finished having this for breakfast and it was OUTSTANDING! The sauce is so good I even want to put it on ice cream and other things. I sliced up a loaf of Italian bread that was leftover and starting to firm up, and it worked perfectly. I wouldn’t change anything about this recipe; thanks for sharing!
I’m so glad that you enjoyed it! It really is so yummy 🙂 We have it all the time.
I made this offer Memorial Day weekend when we had multiple guests and they loved it! It was amazing and such a nice presentation!
Am I correct to assume you meant to include the whipping cream as well? I had to look up other recipes but none of the others added whipping cream while cooking, at all. However this is your recipe so idk if I’m assuming correctly, lol. I’m making this recipe for Christmas morning, please let me know if that’s not what you meant so I don’t ruin the bananas foster. Thank you so much. Have a very Merry Christmas
Hi! Sorry about the confusion, but yes you add the whipping cream with the other ingredients after the sugar and butter have melted together. To clarify, this is heavy whipping cream you are adding at this step not whipped cream. You can serve with whipped cream on top though. Hope it turns out well. Merry Christmas!
