Ingredients

4 servings

2 ripe bananas, broken into chunks
1 cup milk
Chef's tip
Use plain, unsweetened soy milk, measured 1:1. It's the most reliable milk swap and works in sauces, custards, and baked goods; for hot or acidic drinks, a barista-style soy milk resists curdling.
2 tbsp cornstarch
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tbsp maple syrup
¼ tsp salt
8 slices thick-cut bread (about ¾-inch thick)
2 tbsp unsalted butter, divided
Chef's tip
Use a stick or block-style dairy-free butter - not a soft tub spread - and swap one-for-one.

For serving

maple syrup, for serving
powdered sugar, for serving (optional)
fresh banana slices, for serving (optional)

Instructions

1
Blend the banana chunks, milk, cornstarch, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, maple syrup, and salt in a blender (or whisk vigorously in a medium bowl) until completely smooth and no lumps remain. Pour into a shallow dish wide enough to fit a bread slice.
2
Let the batter rest for 5 minutes so the cornstarch fully hydrates and the mixture thickens slightly — it should coat the back of a spoon.
