Amazing French Toast Bake - Banana, Chocolate, Caramel Oh MY! (Kristi Original)

This creation turned out AMAZING! It is one of my favorites. It was inspired by looking around my kitchen and realizing that I had hot dog buns and bananas that were going to go bad. This is what popped into my head. My kid's new saying is, 'If it's in Mom's mind, it is amazing! ❤

Ingredients

1 Package of White Break Hot Dog Buns (You could probably use any bread, but this is what I had)
3 Sliced Bananas - Ripe to Over Ripe
6 Eggs
2 Cups of Milk
1 Tsp Cinnamon
1 Tsp Sugar
1 Tsp of Vanilla
1/2 Stick of Melted Butter
1/2 Cup or to Taste - Mini Semi Sweet Chocolate Chips
Caramel Ice Cream Topping
Non-Stick Cooking Spray

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 Degrees
  2. Spray a 9 x 13 Pan with Non-Stick Cooking Spray. 
  3. Rip up or cut up the hot dog buns and put them into the 9 x 13 pan until the pan is almost full. Leave enough room for the bananas and chocolate chips. 
  4. Mix the Eggs, Milk, Vanilla, Cinnamon and Sugar to make a batter. It should be medium yellow. Add more milk if it isn't light enough.
  5. Evenly Pour the batter onto the buns. Try to make sure all the buns get wet.
  6. Top with Bananas and drizzle the Butter over everything
  7. Top with the Chocolate Chips and generously drizzle Caramel Sauce over the top. 
  8. Bake in the Oven Uncovered for 45 Minutes
