Happy National French Toast Day! I’ve been waiting MONTHS for this day! Partly because I love french toast, but mostly because I LOVE this recipe that I’m sharing with you today! Once again I’ve teamed up with my Food Holiday Blogger friends for another fantastic roundup of recipes. Today is especially great because it’s my favorite food: breakfast! So will you be celebrating? I’ll tell you a little bit about my recipe, then be sure to scroll down to check out the rest for more delicious ideas!
It’s the season for pumpkin spice… am I right? I wanted to add a little seasonal flare with my recipe and also make something a little out of the box than your traditional french toast (In fact, I think we’ve all done a fabulous job of accomplishing that!). First I started with french toast cubes…. HELLO adorable!!! They were so fun to make! Then I added in a scrumptious sauce and finished it off with some banana and chopped nuts. The end result? The most delicious french toast I’ve eaten. IO hope you’ll enjoy it!
