Peanut Butter Banana French Toast Recipe

Peanut Butter Banana French Toast

I am not a fan of bananas. I don't like eating a banana by itself. But I love peanut butter. I can eat spoonfuls of it on its own. Put a banana and some peanut butter together, you get a wonderful snack. Put them in French toast, and you get a wonderful breakfast!

I added a side of strawberries, but you probably should not do that if you're watching your sugar intake. The banana and maple syrup are high in sugar.
