Peanut butter and bananas is such a classic combination that always tastes good.
I used to eat peanut butter and banana sandwiches as a kid and this recipe trumps that for a few reasons.
First, chocolate peanut butter. Automatically a leg up on regular peanut butter. You could also use Nutella.
Second, rather than just making sandwiches, I made French toast. The bread is slightly crisp on the exterior, soft in the interior, and heating the chocolate peanut butter so it melts slightly is the best idea I’ve had in awhile.
If you’re looking for an easy yet decadent comfort food breakfast or brunch recipe, make this. You can scale up the recipe to whatever sized crowd you’re cooking for.
Or make it on nights where you’re craving breakfast-for-dinner while catching up on all your favorite DVR’ed shows or binge watching Netflix.

Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Stuffed French Toast
Ingredients
- 4 slices Texas toast, I prefer Texas toast over regular bread because it’s thicker
- about 8 tablespoons chocolate peanut butter, divided (Nutella may be substituted)
- 1 medium banana, sliced into thin rounds
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ cup milk, I used unsweetened cashew milk
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- about 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, for griddling
Instructions
- Spread each slice of bread with about 2 tablespoons chocolate peanut butter.
- Evenly add bananas to two of the slices in an even, flat layer.
- Top with remaining bread slices (with the chocolate peanut butter side down, touching the bananas); set the 2 sandwiches aside.
- To a medium bowl, add the eggs, milk, sugar, cinnamon, and whisk to combine; set aside.
- To a large skillet, add the butter and heat over medium-high heat to melt. After butter has melted, dip each sandwich in the egg mixture, on both sides, and place sandwiches in skillet.
- Cook for about 3 to 4 minutes per side, or until lightly golden browned on both sides. Slice and serve immediately. French toast is best warm and fresh.

Hi Averie this looks delicious I also love your flourless peanut butter cookies they are the best ever. Thanks for the recipe Averie. Will be making this with my mom I’m 9 by the way. I love to cook.
I love that you read my blog, and you cook, and you’re 9! My daughter is 9 and she’s not really a cook…like at all. She just waits for me to cook for her. That’s great that you are cooking and this is definitely an easy enough recipe to tackle. Hope you enjoy it!
And glad you love those cookies, too! Thanks for reading!
hey girl this looks really tasty!
I love French toast, and this would definitely be great in the morning, or even for dinner.
I made my 5 year old daughter her first peanut butter and banana sandwich the other day. I need to hide these photos from her so she doesn’t get any ideas!! haha. Looks so good Averie! Beautiful photos, as always :)
You win. This is incredible.
Thank you :) This is the kind of food that I need on hangover mornings. lol

Is there any way to make this healthier, or to make a french toast with our farmer’s market in-season fruits? Please share if you have a recipe!

This with a spicy Blood Mary and I’m all set for brunch :D!! I would probably do the Nutella option here too.
I think I vote mimosas rather than Bloody Mary’s…but that’s a tough call :)
This is my kind of french toast–great combo of all sorts of goodness (and we haven’t had breakfast yet)! Awesome looking recipe Averie–you’ve totally jazzed up a PB – banana sandwich!
I hope you’re having a wonderful trip! And yes this would have been my jazzed up PB/banana sandwich of my childhood dreams :)

It was epic and worth the napkins :)
Hi Averie,
French toast is one of my favorites breakfast items.
Adding chocolate and peanut butter just makes it a must!
Thanks for the recipe. :)
