Vegan French Toast with Caramelized Bananas

Ingredients

• 2 slices of vegan bread
• 1/4 cup non-dairy milk
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons vegan butter or margarine, melted
• 2 bananas, sliced into rounds
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• Maple syrup, for serving, optional

Directions

1. Warm a large skillet over medium heat.
2. Stir the brown sugar and cinnamon together in a shallow bowl.
3. Quickly dunk each bread slice in the non-dairy milk, then press it into the cinnamon-sugar mixture to coat.
4. Set the bread in the hot skillet and cook it for 2-3 minutes per side, until the outside is browned and crisp.
5. While the toast cooks, combine the melted vegan butter or margarine with the vanilla extract and whatever cinnamon-sugar mixture is left, stirring until smooth.
6. Add the banana rounds to the skillet, then pour the butter mixture over the top. Cook for 1-2 minutes, just until the bananas are caramelized and aromatic.
7. Serve with maple syrup, if you like.
