About a month ago I went to this restaurant for breakfast. On the menu they had a Zucchini Bread French Toast. If I’m being completely honest, I didn’t think much of it. 

I moved on to my typical scrambled eggs, toast, and bacon. I’m a super simple breakfast kind of girl. Without even realizing it, somebody at the table ordered the Zucchini Bread French Toast. When it came I thought nothing of it, but naturally HAD to try it. 

YOU GUYS. I can’t even. This was one of the greatest things I’ve ever eaten. I needed to recreate it and share it with you immediately! You’re welcome. 

The base of this french toast is lightly adapted from my Mom’s Best Banana Bread. I REALLY love the way it turned out. Then I took it one step further and turned it into french toast. This recipe works best using a leftover loaf, maybe a day or two old. That is, if there’s any left to spare!

It only takes minutes to turn this into the most epic breakfast of all time. Drizzle it with some maple syrup, and top it off with the most delicious T-Sugars Icing Sugar Mill. This sugar is literally the icing on the cake! It’s the perfect finishing touch, and I LOVE the ready to use container it comes in! No mess!

So, you have two choices. Make this for breakfast today. Or make this for breakfast tomorrow. 

Nailed it.

2. 2) In a separate bowl combine the flours, baking soda, and baking powder.
3. 3) In three additions, add the dry ingredients to the wet, being careful not to over-mix.
4. 4) Add the milk, vanilla, and bananas and combine until just mixed. Gently fold in the shredded zucchini.
5. 5) Pour batter into two greased loaf pans. Bake for 45-50 minutes at 350 degrees.

For the French Toast
