Chocolate Banana Stuffed French Toast

Print Recipe
When I was loosing weight (obviously, not now, I’m steadily gaining as I’m almost at 7 months prego), I learned one very, very important lesson.  Occasionally, you must allow yourself to have a “cheat” day.  No, I’m not saying that on this day, you should go out an eat an entire large pizza by yourself, however, indulging in something you’ve been craving is important for weight loss too. As for this recipe, as soon as I saw the link for it here from Pinterest, I wanted it instantly.
Mix all ingredients for the batter in a medium sized bowl.

Mix until well combined. Refrigerate until ready.

Cut a loaf of french bread 2 inches thick (you will need 8 pieces).

In a separate bowl, mix all filling ingredients together until well combined…

But not completely smooth.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Heat a large skillet on medium and spray generously with cooking spray.
Dip each piece into the batter on both sides and place in pan.

Cook until golden brown on both sides.  Remove and place in baking dish you are going put into the oven. 4 pieces will be for the bottom and 4 pieces for the top.

Divide the filling equally onto 4 of the pieces of bread.

Top with the remaining 4 pieces of bread. Place in preheated oven for 8 minutes.

Remove and serve with syrup.
