Chocolate Chip Banana Bread French Toast is banana bread that is lightly fried then baked for a warm inner bite and a crispy finish.

Chocolate Chip Banana Bread French Toast is banana bread that is lightly fried then baked for a warm inner bite and a crispy finish.In the car the other day, I listened to a man on the radio (okay, it was John Tesh) talking about how the new fashion style for women today is called "Granny Chic".  He said gone are the days of tight and form fitting clothes as we now welcome the loose shirts and long skirts that our grandmothers have been trending for many years now.

Really?

Should I dye my hair gray, too?

I have to admit that he is right about the style today.  I admire those who can pull off this Anthropologie infused look.  But, I can't seem to do it right.

One of my friends from California, who is more like a sister, came to visit a couple of weeks ago.  She's from California, so she knows how to dress ahead of the trends.  I made her clothes shop with me while she was here and bought a few things I never would have picked out on my own.  Guess what?  I love them!

But, I don't think they are anything my granny would wear.  Nor, would my children's grannies wear.

Maybe I'm still not trendy enough, then.

Chocolate Chip Banana Bread French Toast is banana bread that is lightly fried then baked for a warm inner bite and a crispy finish.You know what I did take from one of my children's grandmothers, though?  Her banana bread recipe.  And, you know what I did with it?  I stepped it up a notch and made it into a Chocolate Banana Bread French Toast.

See? I can be trendy!

I adapted my favorite method of making French Toast a few years ago and will never go back to solely dipping and frying.   I like to go the distance and bake the fried slices of bread so the inside is soft, fluffy and warm upon every bite, while the outside has a crispy edge.  No soggy Chocolate Banana Bread French Toast for me!  (Or, dessert, if you so choose.)  🙂

    Granny-chic?!?! I'm 5'0", so if this is the newest trend, I'm going to get swallowed up by all that flowy clothing. This recipe looks great! May have to hide some bananas just so I can make banana bread.
