Whip up the ultimate breakfast indulgence with this quick and easy recipe for Banana and Nutella Stuffed French Toast.

Remember the Banana Nut Pancakes I was eating by the half-dozen awhile back? Well, they just met their match on the brunch buffet.

There are times when I’m working on a new recipe for the site and I get so enthralled with the food that I forget to take photos. No surprise here, but this actually happens on the regular around these parts.

This Banana and Nutella Stuffed French Toast is a perfect example of when I have to cook another portion to eat while taking a photo of the final dish because sometimes, well … sometimes 5 minutes is just too long to wait.

The best of the best recipes also result in an email to my family with a subject line such as “TRY THIS,” which includes a snapshot and some tantalizing text. Needless to say, this recipe sparked a family email chain last Sunday morning that stretched into phone calls about said Banana and Nutella Stuffed French Toast well into the night.

The melted Nutella, the warmed, yet not mushy bananas, the pronounced eggy taste of the cinnamon-flavored custard coating—this recipe was honestly the results of some almost-too-ripe bananas that were begging for a destiny other than banana bread.
