More About This Recipe

  • Are you ready for the ultimate breakfast/brunch recipe? This caramel French toast is everything you want... and then some. I love this recipe for so many reasons. For one, it's made in the slow-cooker which has many advantages: Freed up space in my oven and on my stovetop, minimal mess and clean-up, AND I can just set it and forget it. Totally perfect for a midmorning brunch with friends or family! ?Reason two: simple, classic and delicious flavors. I mean, it really doesn't get better then bananas and caramel. They are perfectly sweet together! Reason three: I have yet to meet a person who does not fall head over heels for this French toast. It's truly an all-around winning recipe. Yes!! For a sweeter version, try using Nutella™ in place of the caramel. This toast can also be baked in a 9x13-inch pan in a 375°F oven for 30-35 minutes. Serve hot with warm caramel sauce or maple syrup, plus additional fresh banana slices.
