Printable Recipe

3 eggs

1 cup milk

2 tbsn. brown sugar

pinch of salt

1 tsp. cinnamon

1 tsp. nutmeg

1 tsp. vanilla extract

4 tbsn. butter

12 slices of whole wheat bread (or white/ brioche/ challah/ anything will do)

Nutella, amount depends on how much you like 

4 bananas, sliced (optional)

powdered sugar, for topping (optional)

In a medium bowl mix the eggs, milk, sugar, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg and vanilla until well combined. Spread the Nutella onto 6 sliced of the bread, then place the other bread slices on them to make a Nutella sandwich and cut diagonally. Heat a large pan over medium heat. Once hot, drop a tablespoon of butter and wait until melted. Dip the bread into the liquid mixture until coated well on each side (do NOT over soak or else it will become soggy). Drop the sandiwches into the hot pan and cook 4 halves at a time using a tablespoon of butter for each batch. Cook until golden brown, about 3 - 4 minutes on each side. Remove from pan and eat immediately. Top with the fresh bananas and whipped cream.

Maple Whipped Cream

1 cup heavy cream

1/4 cup of maple syrup

1 tsp. vanilla extract

Using a mixer, whip the cream until peaks start to form. While on low speed, slowly add the maple syrup and vanilla. Continue beating until peaks become stiff. Enjoy!
