Dessert for breakfast? Breakfast for dessert? All we know is that this bananas Foster French toast casserole unquestionably reigns supreme among overnight breakfast recipes<\/a>. Traditional bananas Foster<\/a> hails from New Orleans, and this recipe marries the best parts of the famous dessert with a beloved weekend brunch staple: French toast. You’ll need to plan ahead as bananas Foster French toast calls for an overnight soak, but it’s a cinch to make.<\/p>\n You’ll start with buttery caramel in the bottom of the pan, mixed with crunchy pecans and ripe bananas, and then add challah bread<\/a> drenched in a vanilla-laced custard. Once baked, you’ll flip the breakfast casserole over so the nutty banana caramel layer becomes the top. As far as decadent French toast recipes<\/a> go, this one is a feast for the eyes and taste buds.<\/p>\n Bananas Foster French toast casserole is ideal for feeding a group. And since it feels just a wee bit more special than other breakfast casseroles, it’s one of our top-rated breakfast recipes<\/a> around the holidays.<\/p>\n Put the butter in a medium to large microwave-safe bowl. Cover the bowl and microwave the butter for 30 to 45 seconds until melted. Whisk in the brown sugar, heavy cream, cinnamon, allspice and pecans. Add the bananas and toss to coat.<\/p>\n Editor’s Tip:<\/em> You can also gently melt the butter on the stove before adding the other ingredients.<\/p>\n Grease a 13×9-inch baking dish. Pour the banana mixture into the dish.<\/p>\n Place the bread over the banana mixture, cutting away the edges as needed.<\/p>\n Pour the milk, eggs, sugar and vanilla extract into a blender and process the custard until the ingredients are just blended.<\/p>\n Pour the custard over the bread, then cover the baking dish and refrigerate it for at least eight hours or overnight.<\/p>\n Editor’s Tip:<\/em> The long soak ensures that the custard gets into every nook and cranny of the bread. The longer the soak, the more custardy your bananas Foster French toast casserole will be.<\/p>\n Take the French toast out of the refrigerator. Preheat the oven to 375\u00b0F. Bake the casserole uncovered for 35 to 40 minutes until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and allow the casserole to stand for 5 to 10 minutes.<\/p>\n Editor’s Tip:<\/em> It’s important to never put a cold baking dish into a hot oven. It may crack! Letting the casserole stand at room temperature while the oven preheats is essential.<\/p>\n Turn the casserole out onto a serving dish and serve.<\/p>\n Let the French toast casserole cool, then cover it well and place it in the fridge for up to two days. To reheat, let the casserole come up to room temperature and then bake it in the oven at 375\u00b0 for 20 to 25 minutes until heated through.<\/p>\n Yes! This French toast casserole can be wrapped and frozen for up to three months. Defrost it in the fridge overnight, and reheat it as outlined above.<\/p>\n Slow cooking your bananas Foster French toast casserole makes an easy recipe even easier. Grease a 5- or 6-quart slow cooker. Layer the bananas along the bottom of your slow cooker, then top the bananas with the melted butter, spices, cream and pecans. Combine the milk, egg and vanilla in a bowl. Instead of using sliced bread, chop the challah into cubes, then toss it in the batter. Place the challah in the slow cooker, and cook on low for three to four hours or on high for 1 hour and 30 minutes to 2 hours. For lazy weekends, these slow-cooker breakfast ideas<\/a> will give you even more inspiration.<\/p>\n Take things up a notch by dusting your French toast with confectioners’ sugar and cinnamon, as well as topping it with a scoop of fresh seasonal berries or a sprinkle of coconut. A little homemade sweetened whipped cream<\/a> wouldn’t go amiss here either. For something extra special, drizzle chocolate over the top of your French toast casserole. Classic bananas Foster includes vanilla ice cream, so if you want to serve this indulgent breakfast recipe for dessert<\/a>, grab your ice cream scoop and a tub of homemade vanilla ice cream<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This decadent overnight bananas Foster French toast recipe will take your brunch game to the next

Thank you sooo much for this amazing treat!! It is now a family favotite. Flavor is reminiscent of the best banana bread you could ever eat, but with a fantastic texture. I did find that you really need to let this rest for the full 10 minutes after baking, to avoid sticking. I noticed a few people said the bananas were dark or grey and it didnt really caramelize. After inverting onto an oven safe dish, pop it under the broiler, 6-8\"s below, for a few minutes! You will find that you get a beautiful caramelized color and texture.
