For an extra touch of indulgence, serve warm with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce. If you prefer a deeper caramel flavor, you can substitute dark brown sugar for the light brown sugar. To avoid soggy French toast, ensure the bread is not overly saturated with the batter. A quick dip on each side is sufficient. Feel free to experiment with other nuts, such as walnuts or almonds, in place of the pecans. For a boozy twist, add a tablespoon of rum or bourbon to the batter. The bake time might vary depending on your oven, so keep an eye on the French toast after 20 minutes.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish generously with butter-flavored cooking spray. (5 minutes)
02
StepUsing a long, serrated knife, carefully slice the bread rolls horizontally without separating them into individual rolls, creating two even halves. (2 minutes)
03
StepIn a large, shallow bowl, whisk the eggs until smooth and light. Stir in the milk, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until well combined, forming a smooth and fragrant batter. (3 minutes)
04
StepDip the bottom half of the bread rolls into the batter, ensuring both sides are thoroughly coated. Place the soaked bread in the prepared baking dish. Arrange the sliced bananas evenly over the bread base. Sprinkle the brown sugar and chopped pecans generously over the bananas. Dot the top with the cubed butter. (10 minutes)
05
StepDip the top half of the bread rolls into the remaining batter, coating both sides. Place the soaked top half over the banana-pecan layer in the baking dish. (5 minutes)
06
StepBake in the preheated oven until the middle is set and the top is golden brown and slightly crisp, approximately 25 minutes. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean. (25 minutes)
07
StepLet stand for 5 minutes before slicing and serving. (5 minutes)
