Instructions
 

Make the Banana Bread:

    - Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan.

      - In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas with the melted butter. Stir until well blended.

        - Mix in the baking soda and salt. Then, add the brown sugar, egg, and vanilla extract, mixing until combined.

          - Finally, fold in the flour until just incorporated. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.

            - Bake for 60-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow to cool before slicing.

              Prepare the Bananas Foster Topping:

                - In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add brown sugar and stir until melted and bubbly.

                  - If using, carefully add the dark rum (be cautious as it may flame) and continue to stir.

                    - Add the sliced bananas, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until the bananas are well coated and slightly softened. Remove from heat.

                      Make the French Toast:

                        - In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.

                          - Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat. Dip each slice of banana bread into the egg mixture, allowing it to soak for a few seconds on each side.

                            - Fry the soaked bread slices in the skillet until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.

                              Assemble:

                                - Serve the French toast warm, topped generously with the Bananas Foster mixture. Don’t forget to drizzle any remaining sauce over the top!
