Baked Banana Walnut French Toast, Diary Free

In the states we place a big emphasis on breakfast, and considering it is my favorite meal, I decided it was time to place more emphasis on morning recipes over the weekend. I will make two versions onfrench toast- the first, one with banana and coconut- two of Nikos favorite tastes.

This french toast was made last night and set to soak overnight in the fridge. This morning when I got up I took it out of the fridge for 20 minutes before putting it in the oven to bake, and then when done, drizzled with honey and another fresh banana. Turned out delicious!!
