Peanut Butter and Banana with Chocolate French Toast recipe - Disney in your Day

The first time I went to Disneyland we had dinner at PCH Grill at Paradise Pier Hotel. I thought it was really good for a buffet – and I’d heard excellent things about the breakfast as well. I’ve never tried it, but I was excited when Disney shared a recipe for one of the highlights on the breakfast buffet there: a Peanut Butter and Banana with Chocolate French Toast recipe.

I looked it up and apparently this is an item on the kid’s buffet, but when you’re at Disney everyone is a kid at heart! And how great does peanut butter, banana, and chocolate french toast sound? I would really call this more of a “french toast casserole,” as the recipe makes a big batch and the bread is cut up into bite size pieces. I kind of like this version of french toast better, to be honest.

After making it I think the only thing I would change is I would add in a third banana. The original recipe called for 2 bananas, but that meant I didn’t get quite as much banana as I would like in every bite. Of course that’s really up to your preference, but I found having more banana helped balance the sweetness of the chocolate a bit more.

I also topped mine with maple syrup, even though the recipe calls for chocolate syrup. That’s just a bit too sweet for me! But it definitely needed that extra bit of moisture. I also adjusted the recipe to use mini chocolate chips because I think those would work better.

 

So here’s my slightly altered version of the Peanut Butter and Banana with Chocolate French Toast recipe:

Ingredients:

  • 1 loaf of day-old challah bread
  • 2 ripe bananas
  • 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 6 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 3/4 cup low-fat chocolate milk
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Chocolate syrup, maple syrup, or powdered sugar, optional

Directions for Peanut Butter and Banana with Chocolate French Toast recipe:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat a 9×13 baking dish with cooking spray.
  2. Cut challah bread into about 1 inch cubes and place into a large bowl. Slice bananas into 1/2 inch slices and add to bowl. Stir in chocolate chips and mix it all together.
  3. In a blender, combine peanut butter, eggs, chocolate milk, cinnamon, and salt until liquid. 
  4. Pour egg mixture over bread cubes. Stir to ensure that all bread has soaked in the egg mixture.
  5. Transfer to baking dish. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until golden brown on the top.
  6. Before serving, add chocolate syrup, maple syrup, or powdered sugar (or more than one if you prefer!)

The recipe said it serves 4 but I think those would be quite large portions. We found it lasts well for a few days in the fridge wrapped in tin foil – we just cut off a piece, heat it up in the convention oven for about 7 minutes, and it’s delicious!
