Step 1

In a large frying pan, cook the bacon according to package instructions. Remove from the pan and set aside.

Step 2

In the same pan, heat up the vegan butter or oil over medium high heat. Once hot, pan fry the banana slices for 3 minutes on each side, until browned. Remove from the pan and set aside.

Step 3

Make the french toast.In the same pan, add some vegan butter or oil over medium high heat.

Step 4

In a wide, shallow bowl or dish large enough to hold a slice of bread, whisk together the milk, maple syrup, vanilla, cinnamon, corn starch, and baking powder.

Step 5

Dip one slice of bread in the batter and let soak for 20-30 seconds on each side.  If you are using a thinner bread, you may not need to soak it as long. The bread should be evenly moist but not soggy.

Step 6

Add the bread to the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown.

Step 7

Repeat with all of your bread, adding more oil or butter to the pan as needed between cooking each slice of bread.

Step 8

Place a piece of french toast on a plate, top with bacon slices, caramelized bananas, maple syrup, a drizzle of peanut butter, and peanuts. To make the peanut butter easier to drizzle, you can microwave it in 10 second intervals, stirring it until it’s smooth and runny. Enjoy fresh!
