Cherry Banana French Toast

Ingredients

1 loaf banana bread

1 cup dried cherries

1-1/2 cups milk

4 eggs

1/2 teaspoon banana extract

1 teaspoon vanilla

Crunchy Oat Topping:

6 Tablespoons butter

3/4 cup flour

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1/2 cup rolled oats

3/4 cup packed brown sugar

1/2 cup chopped walnuts

Orange Sauce:

1/4 cup fresh squeezed orange juice

1/4 cup packed brown sugar

2 Tablespoons butter

Slice banana bread into eight 1-inch slices. Combine eggs, milk, banana extract, and vanilla; whisk until fully mixed. Spray a 13 x 9-inch glass baking dish with non-stick spray. Place bread into pan and pour egg mixture over bread; cover and refrigerate overnight.

Place in a bowl all topping ingredients except the nuts. Cut the butter into the mixture until crumbly; add nuts and mix into topping. Pour 1/2 cup boiling water over the cherries and let sit for 10 minutes; drain and spread on top of bread. Spoon topping mix over the cherries on the bread. Bake in a 325-degree oven for 40 to 45 minutes or until puffed and golden brown. Serve with orange sauce and maple syrup.

Orange Sauce: Combine ingredients in a small sauce pan. Cook over low heat for 5 to 10 minutes until it starts to thicken. Remove from heat and keep warm.
