🛒 Ingredients:
For the Filling:
- 🍌 1 cup prepared banana pudding (store-bought or homemade)
- 🧁 1/2 cup whipped topping or whipped cream
- 🍬 1 tbsp powdered sugar (optional, for sweetness)
For the French Toast:
- 🍞 8 slices of thick bread (brioche or Texas toast works best)
- 🥚 3 large eggs
- 🥛 1/2 cup milk
- 🧂 1/4 tsp salt
- 🌿 1 tsp vanilla extract

For Topping:

- 🍯 Maple syrup or honey
- 🧁 Whipped cream

🔥 Instructions:
1️⃣ Prepare the Filling:
- In a mixing bowl, fold the whipped topping into the banana pudding until smooth and creamy. Stir in powdered sugar if you want extra sweetness.
- Spread the filling evenly over 4 slices of bread, then top each with another slice to create sandwiches.
2️⃣ Make the Batter:
- In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until well combined.
3️⃣ Dip the Sandwiches:
- Heat butter in a large skillet or griddle over medium heat.
- Dip each sandwich into the egg mixture, coating both sides, but don’t let the bread soak too long to avoid sogginess.
4️⃣ Cook the French Toast:
- Place the dipped sandwiches onto the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Cook in batches if needed.
5️⃣ Serve:
- Slice each sandwich diagonally and top with banana slices, a drizzle of maple syrup or honey, whipped cream, and a dusting of powdered sugar. 🍴
