Prep Time 20 minutes
Cook Time 37 minutes
Total Time 57 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ package Cinnamon raisin bread We love Dave's Killer Cinnamon Rasin bread!
  • 6 Bananas, sliced
  • ½ cup Chopped pecans (optional)

Bananas Foster Sauce Ingredients:

  • 1 cup Non-dairy butter Cubed. We love the Country Crock plant butter or Monty's cultured cashew butter logs!
  • 1 ⅓ cup Packed light brown sugar
  • 1 cup Country Crock's Plant-cream (a heavy whipping cream alternative)
  • 1 tsp Ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp Ground allspice

Custard Ingredients:

  • 2 cup Unsweetened unflavored soy or almond milk Could also use oat milk here!
  • 6 Large eggs
  • 2 tbsp Sugar
  • 2 tsp Vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp Almond extract

Instructions

  • To make the sauce, start by placing butter in a microwave-safe bowl; microwave, covered, until melted, about 30-45 seconds.
  • Firmly pack 1 1/3 cups of light brown sugar and add into butter with coconut cream, allspice, cinnamon, and pecans (optional). Add sliced bananas, stirring gently to coat.
  • Transfer sauce and bananas to a greased 13×9″ baking dish (we used butter to coat the pan, you could use Pam too). Arrange bread over top, laying each piece on top of each other almost like stacked playing cards, trimming to fit as necessary.
  • Create the egg/custard mixture for the top of the French toast by whisking together the second set of ingredients above, just until blended or combined. Pour over the bread.
  • Refrigerate, covered, 8 hours or overnight.
  • In the morning, preheat oven to 375°F.
  • Remove the french toast from refrigerator while oven heats. Bake, uncovered, until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean and hot, about 35-40 minutes.
  • Let stand 5-10 minutes before gently (but quickly) flipping over onto a tray larger than the pan you baked it in.

Notes

  • Here's the link to one of the grocery stores where you can find Killer Dave's raisin bread. You can also find it at Publix (we love buying it there when they run BOGOs on the brand).
  • We also love Udi's Gluten Free Cinnamon Raisin Bread (dairy-free too), but we've never tried it with this recipe so further testing is needed!
