Fluffy French Toast with Caramelised Bananas.. A Breakfast Worth Waking up for!

A few of my lovely readers have been complaining that I always do either sinfully rich stuff, or things that are very complicated. So I'm going to try and occassionally post things like this delicious french toast, things that are staples in my home, but I never considered doing a post about.


I'd seen this recipe years ago on Allrecipes, and have been following it ever since. The small amount of flour gives it a fluffiness that just transcends this simple breakfast staple to a whole other level. I almost always caramelise some fruit to go along with it, because I have a major sweet tooth, and a nice [almost] dessert for breakfast just makes for the best day!!
