Cornflake Crusted Banana Stuffed French Toast

This indulgent banana stuffed French toast offers a delightful twist on a classic breakfast favourite.

It is a satisfying vegetarian dish that feels like a treat but uses egg whites and fresh fruit to keep the flavours bright and balanced.

Serve it alongside a handful of fresh summer berries and perhaps a drizzle of maple syrup for a comforting, homemade meal that is packed with texture and natural sweetness.

Ingredients for Cornflake Crusted Banana Stuffed French Toast

  • 150g cornflake crumbs

  • 1 tablespoon toasted sliced almonds

Heat griddle over medium-high heat. Combine cornflake crumbs and almonds in a bowl. Combine egg whites, vanilla extract and cinnamon in another bowl.
