Instructions

To make bread:

  • In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon; set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar, oil, eggs, vanilla, and pumpkin.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the sugar mixture alternately with the buttermilk, beating until just combined.
  • Fold in the mashed bananas.
  • Pour batter into a greased 9x5-inch loaf pan.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 55-65 min, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Allow to cool.

To prepare french toast:

  • Once bread cools, slice it into approximately 3/4-inch slices, or about 10-12 even slices.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the whole eggs, egg whites, vanilla, cinnamon, and splash of milk.
  • Dunk each side of the bread into the egg mixture, allowing a few seconds for it to soak in.
  • In a large saucepan on medium heat, cook bread slices for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until lightly browned.
  • Serve with a pat of butter and a drizzle of maple syrup!
