Banana & Almond Butter-Stuffed French Toast Roll-Ups

When you just need a “this is delicious, you’re the best, Mom!” type of win from your kids, try these Almond Butter & Banana-Stuffed French Toast Roll-Ups. We had a less-healthy version of this on our vacation and I knew I had to come home and recreate it my way with a little less sugar, and I have to say, it was a hit! You can use any nut butter you'd like, spread it on your bread, roll it up with a banana, and then make it the way you'd typically make french toast. It's a fun change that the whole family will be excited about! To see a full video of how to make it, click here. 

Ingredients
3 eggs
1/3 cup unsweetened nut milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp cinnamon
5-6 pieces of bread (I used organic sprouted wheat bread, gf bread should work too)
2 bananas
Almond butter
2 tbsp coconut oil
Maple syrup for serving

1. Mix together eggs, milk, vanilla, and cinnamon. Set aside.
   
2. Roll each slice of bread with a rolling pin to thin it out. Don’t go too thin or it will break.
   
3. Spread almond butter (or your fave nut butter) on each slice.
   
4. Slice a banana in half lengthwise, then cut each half down the center, and down the center again, into 4 long banana pieces per half.
   
5. Place the slice of banana on one side of the almond-buttered bread, then tightly roll to the other side.
   
6. Melt 1 tbsp coconut oil in a pan over medium heat. Carefully dip each bread/banana roll-up in the egg mixture completely, then let the excess drip off, and place into the pan.
   
7. Turn each roll up to allow to cook until golden on all sides. Remove from pan and set aside on a plate.
   
8. Add 1 more tbsp coconut oil into the pan, plus 1 banana, cut into rounds. Sprinkle with cinnamon.
   
9. Cook the banana slices for a minute or so on each side until starting to caramelize. Once finished, add on top of the french toast roll-ups.
   
10. Drizzle with maple syrup and dig in! Enjoy!!
