I liked the recipe as done but I changed it the second time I made it. I made regular french toast, covered half with slices of banana dipped in melted pieces of Dove dark chocolate and then topped each with another slice of french toast. Then topped each sandwich with powdered sugar. I like mine better.

Quick, easy, delicious. Surprisingly filling too. I bet they'd be great with peanut butter too.

this belongs on a brunch menu at any restaurant. I loved it and the kids did too. What is not to love? Bananas and chocolate - yum! And easy recipe too!

This was a really tasty breakfast! I used egg substitute and almond milk, added some cinnamon as well. I also just used about a Tbs of hazelnut spread (I used Justin's instead of Nutella since it has much less sugar). My husband and kids loved it! I cooked theirs in a bit more oil since they can afford it :)

This was a hit with the family. I don't like nutella and used the nesquick instead. Next time I will try the cinnamon as well. Definitely a keeper!

My 7 year old loved this! I made the following slight changes: added ground cinnamon to egg mixture, minus salt and substituted nesquick chocolate syrup for the nutella. I also cooked the bread separately and then compiled into sandwiches with the chocolate and banana slices. My son gobbled this up...happy mother:)

Gillian loves it. Need I say more? A kid who won't eat grilled cheese sandwiches among many other kid favorites likes this one! Amen!

My family loved this, made me make a second batch. My son said he would eat for every meal for the rest of his life and he got the recipe to make for his "friend". My husband said when you make this tomorrow (lol)... add some cinnamon. SO easy and fast to make! This was the first tine I ever made French Toast, I''m sold!
