Chocolate Banana Overnight French Toast

December 28, 2013 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 5 Comments

Hi Everyone,

How are you on this lovely Saturday?  Today I have a wonderful breakfast that is easy to make and if you choose, you can do it up and have it for dessert!  Ahhhh, breakfast for dessert?  Now this is a meal I can get in to!!  This is my Chocolate Banana Overnight French Toast.

Chocolate Banana Overnight French Toast
My overnight french toast is a combination of french toast and bread pudding. Yum!! It’s made with a combination of chocolate and banana, which is one of my favorite combinations. I really thought of truly doing it up, but not everyone has the same taste as me, so I kept it basic. But let me tell you, if you added some peanut butter or peanut butter chips to it, oh my gosh, it would blow your mind! Or you could add candied pecans with a drizzle of caramel sauce, oh man!! But I kept it simple, since I was serving this for Christmas breakfast and by the time breakfast came around, we kind of filled ourselves up with cookies and croissants.  I know, not healthy!
Chocolate Banana Overnight French Toast
To make the french toast I used All But Gluten sliced white loaf bread and soaked it overnight with a combination of mashed banana, unsweetened cocoa powder, stevia, vanilla, milk and eggs. Oh and a little espresso powder to really give it a nice chocolate taste. I popped it in the fridge and the next morning baked it or about 20 minutes and out came this perfect little breakfast!
Chocolate Banana Overnight French Toast
The Chocolate Banana Overnight French Toast is moist, a nice combination of banana and chocolate and it’s sweet, but not super sweet. I added maple syrup to it, but honestly you don’t really need it. The sugar in this dish is all natural sugar which comes from the banana. This is a healthy, gluten-free breakfast that will please a crowd! Little Jenny’s boyfriend loved it and ate two slices for breakfast, along with my Husbands vanilla flavored scrambled eggs, and my burnt bacon. Yes, I burned the bacon, because my Husband kept saying he wanted it crisper. Well it was crisp and not edible in my eyes, but my Husband ate it all. I think he did that so he could be the only one to eat the bacon.

A moist, chocolaty, naturally sweetened gluten free french toast with a bread pudding consistency filled with fresh bananas.
Serves: 8 slices
Ingredients
  • 6 slices All But Gluten sliced white loaf bread, cut into cubes (4 cups)
  • 2 bananas, mashed
  • 1 egg
  • 2 egg whites
  • ¾ cup non-fat or milk of choice
  • 1½ tbsp. unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 packets stevia (for less sweetness only use one)

  • ¼ tsp cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp. espresso powder (optional)
Instructions
  1. Spray about 6 x 4 baking dish with cooking spray; and top with bread.
  2. In a bowl, add bananas, egg, egg whites, milk, cocoa powder, stevia,vanilla extract, cinnamon and espresso powder. Whisk together until no more lumps of cocoa powder remain. Pour over the top of your bread. Push the bread down with a spoon to make sure all of the bread gets covered with mixture. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight.
  3. Take bread mixture out of the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature; set aside.
  4. Preheat oven to 400 degrees, bake french toast for 18 - 20 minutes or until set and golden.
  5. Let the french toast cool for a few minutes and serve warm. Top with maple syrup if desired.

Chocolate Banana Overnight French Toast
I was inspired to make this dish because the wonderful people at All But Gluten sent me the most fabulous package of fresh goodies.  They sent me 3 loaves of bread, chocolate chip cookies, macaroons, brownies and blueberry muffins.  Yummy!!  Everything tasted wonderful and fresh.  My Husband LOVED the Blueberry Muffins and he took them all to work and shared with his co-workers who all loved them too.  Matter in fact they were shocked to learn that they were gluten-free.  My personal favorites were the macaroon cookies and the brownie bites.  Dam those brownie bites.  They are so moist and delicious!

All But Gluten
What I really like about All But Gluten is that they offer a full range of gluten-free products – from White and Whole Grain Loaves to Brownies and Macaroons that are sold in the fresh bakery section, not in the freezer case! Of course if you stock up on your goodies, you can freeze it! I did that with the bread, but everything else was eaten right away.
All But Gluten Bread
The reason that All But Gluten contacted me is because they are launching their products in the US and starting in Northern California at Safeway grocery store. For all of my readers in Canada, you can find All But Gluten in most grocery stores. All But Gluten products are made by Weston Bakeries Limited, a leader in the Canadian baking industry with more than 125 years of tradition and legacy. You know they are doing something right if they have been around for 125 years!!


I am not gluten-free, but you know I love food and I am always willing to try something new.  No one in my house knew that my Chocolate Banana Overnight French Toast was gluten-free.  My Husband said the blueberry muffins were light, fluffy and sweet.  The macaroons were dynamite!  All I could say is I wanted to eat the whole bag!  Perfect coconut flavor!  The chocolate chip cookies were soft and perfectly sweet and oh the brownie bites were amazing!  They melted in your mouth!  I warmed one up and served it with ice cream, smeared peppermint whip cream on it and popped them in my mouth when I got the craving, which was a lot!  Thank you All But Gluten for sending me this package.  Not only did you introduce me to something new, but my friend has a friend who just got diagnosed with Celiac and she hasn’t eaten too much because she doesn’t know what to eat.  I introduced her to your products and I am hoping that this will help her get back on track!  Plus my doctor just told me to limit my wheat intake, so this is great to know I have options!

Chocolate Banana Overnight French Toast

Sorry I rambled on today! I had a cup of coffee before writing this post. 🙂 Plus I was excited to share with you All But Gluten.  You just know how much I love good food and I am very proud to share with you food that can help you!

Well my Friends, I think I chewed your ear off enough! Have a fabulous weekend!!

Toodles,

Jennifer

Hi Everyone! Happy Wednesday! We are half way ther Hi Everyone! Happy Wednesday! We are half way there!  I’m counting down to the weekend. It’s supposed to hit near 70 degrees which is rare for this time of year.
💕
I’m sharing with you my little Valentines vignette that I put together. Since some of you said buying candy and displaying it was considered home decor, I used the Hostess Snow Balls that my husband bought.
💕
He said your using the Snow Balls I bought for Home Decor. I said yup! It’s pink and goes with my Valentines. Now I can’t eat them because I don’t want to lose my display. Lol
💕
I was so excited to get my happy mail from @thevintagehomestudio. The tea towel and candy bar was the perfect addition to my display. I love my tea towel so much. Give me all the hearts.
💕
I’m half way through my no buying home decor challenge. So far so good, but I will tell you now, I am going to buy some flowers when I hit up Trader Joe’s this week, I just have too. I heard they got a bunch of gorgeous tulips. I must have them. But I promise that I won’t go crazy.
💕
What are your plans for the weekend?

Hey, hey, hey happy Tuesday! The days are getting Hey, hey, hey happy Tuesday! The days are getting longer and Spring will be here before we know it. #sponsored I can’t wait! Spring is my favorite season!
🌸
I’m sharing with you my new Yuri 4 piece patio set that I got from RST Brands. I love the clean lines and it’s made with certified eucalyptus wood. Plus it is so comfortable to sit on.
🌸
The beautiful light blue cushions are covered in a durable olefin fabric that is weather resistant. Plus the cushions have zippers, so you can wash the cushion covers. That’s a big plus, considering Sampson loves to sit on furniture.
🌸
I can’t wait to decorate my Yuri 4 piece seating set with throws, pillows and of course plants. When the weather warms up, I’ll take you along with me when I decorate.
🌸
Are you looking forward to Spring?

Happy Monday! As usual the weekend flew by, but I’m happy that I got some things done. I’m really trying to do some purge and organize. Slowly moving at it, one day at a time.
💕
I’m sharing with you my Valentines Day tiered tray. If you notice, I finally got a new tiered tray.  Woohoo, the tiered tray is from @paperadpallet. I’m so happy to ditch my old white one. It was so crooked that I had to put a towel under to make it straight. I now finally have a straight tiered tray.
💕
I’ve been good and I still haven’t gone shopping, but after putting this tray together, I realize I don’t own any wooden hearts. I really would like some white and pink ones. I could do a diy, I don’t think that’s considered buying home decor?
💕
How was your weekend?

Hello Thursday! Hope your week is going well. So f Hello Thursday! Hope your week is going well. So far so good over here. I’ve been doing well not shopping. I had to have Target deliver groceries yesterday because I was afraid to go in that store. I have no control. 23 more days to go for my 30 day no buying home decor challenge.
🌿
I’m slowly working on refreshing my home after Christmas. I worked on this vignette in my living room. It’s really hard shopping my home. I grabbed stuff in just about every room to make this vignette.
🌿
I’m sticking with the whites and greens and added the blue vase to go with my pillow in the background. I added another faux fern, I didn’t realize how many I have floating around.
🌿
The pot the fern is in was a pot that my spider plant was in that I got from Trader Joe’s. I told you I really shopped around my home. But it’s kind of fun using things I already have.
🌿
Do you like shopping your own home?

Hello Wednesday! Half way through the first week b Hello Wednesday! Half way through the first week back, we can do it. I need to pump myself up. 😂 All in all it’s not to bad of a work week.
🌿
Last week I worked on changing my console table around. I wanted to keep it light and simple and of course add my greenery.
🌿
I just love adding pops of greenery, real or faux everywhere. Plants truly make me happy. The faux fern you see here is from Target. It’s part of the Studio McGee collection. I can’t get over how real it looks.
🌿
For ferns, I always have to get faux. I don’t have very good luck with real ones. It’s just to dry here. I have to water them everyday and if you miss a day, they die. So faux it will be.
🌿
What’s your favorite plant?

Hello and happy Tuesday! Not too much going on ove Hello and happy Tuesday! Not too much going on over here. Just trying to get back into the swing of things. I was so tired after work yesterday.
🌸
I’m slowly decorating my home for this season, though winter is hard for me. After Christmas, I love pastels and flowers. I think the winter season is a little more difficult to decorate because we don’t get snow. It’s hard to have flocked trees and sunshine.
🌸
I’m sharing with you my centerpiece on my dining room table. I just love it so much!  It’s kind of cozy and warm. Plus it has flowers! I’m still working on decorating the rest of the dining room. I hope to complete it by the weekend so I can share it with you.
🌸
How’s the weather where you live?

Monday again? Ugh! Back to work today. I have enjo Monday again? Ugh! Back to work today. I have enjoyed my two weeks off and boy it is going to be hard getting back in the swing of things. At least I can roll out of my bed and go straight to my computer.
💕
Notice something different in my bedroom? I have a new sign above my bed. It took two years and a lot of begging to get my husband to hang something above my bed. It did cost me a trip to Olive Garden. lol
💕
My new farmhouse sign is from @krumpetshomedecor. I love just it, and thought it was perfect for the bedroom. I find the words so beautiful. Swipe to see a close up.
💕
The sign is slightly white wash and the word “love” is raised lettering. Plus the sign is two sided. I’ll show you the other side in stories today.
💕
Today Krumpets Home Decor is launching there new Valentines decor and let me tell you it is gorgeous!! I saw some fun pieces for a tiered tray and more signs. So much to choose from.
💕

Happy Sunday! Not to much going on here. I finally Happy Sunday! Not to much going on here. I finally packed up my Christmas and slowly redecorating my house for winter/spring.
🌿
For some reason, when Christmas is over I feel the need to start to decorate for Spring. I just love the light, bright feeling.
🌿
My first post of the New Year has to be flowers. I’m sharing this pretty bouquet that I bought from Trader Joe’s.
🌿
Trader Joe’s has tulips already, which means peonies will be soon to follow. I can’t wait for flower season to come full bloom.
🌿
Are you going to be decorating for Valentine’s Day?

Happy New Years Eve! I can’t believe it’s the Happy New Years Eve! I can’t believe it’s the last day of the year and what a year it’s been. Though I’ve had some wonderful blessings this year.
🥂
I’m sharing with you my top 9 photos of 2020. Thank you so much for all your wonderful comments, likes and saves. I’ve had so much fun on IG this year. I’ve made so many new friends, I’ve been inspired by you and I feel like I have grown so much just by being here with you.
🥂
You don’t even know how much I appreciate each and everyone of you. You are truly inspiring.  I am looking so forward to seeing what is in store in 2021.
🥂
If you followed my stories yesterday, I am doing a 30 day challenge starting on January 1st. The challenge is not being able to buy any home decor. So if you are joining me, shop today. It’s the last day to shop.
🥂
I plan on shopping my home, and being creative with what I have. When lockdown started, I saved so much money, not being able to leave my home. I was so proud of myself. Plus, I can save some money for spring and Easter decor.
🥂
Let me know if you are joining me? I need a support system. Target did me in this week, and I must stay away.  Once I get the shopping bug, I can’t stop.
🥂
I’m taking the next couple of days off from IG to get my house organized. I will be on stories to show my progress. Happy New Years! Cheers to a wonderful 2021.
