Remember the Cinnamon Raisin Oatmeal Bread from Friday?? Well, it makes a mean french toast, especially when you slather some cream cheese filling on both sides and stick some banana slices in the middle!
We made a couple of stuffed french toast sandwiches with some thick slices of homemade bread and some with plain whole wheat bread. You can tell by just looking at them which one tasted more amazing!
The cinnamon and raisin from the homemade bread paired perfectly with the cream cheese filling and bananas. Delicious!
Fresh chunks of banana encased in rich cinnamon cream cheese filling. . .makes me wish we had leftovers I could go eat!! 😉
Drizzle some maple syrup on top and you’ll be in breakfast heaven! Have a great Monday!
