4 servings
- 2 ripe bananas, broken into chunks
- 1 cup milk
- 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
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.
