- Use whole grain, brioche, challah, or sourdough bread.
- You can swap the bananas for applesauce if desired.

- Serve warm topped with butter and pure maple syrup.
- Pair with fresh fruit for an easy breakfast or brunch.
- Sprinkle with powdered sugar or chopped nuts for a pretty presentation.
Storage:
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- Freeze cooled slices with parchment or wax paper between layers for up to 2 months.
