Caramelized Banana French Toast

I changed this recipe from the one in Cook this! Not that!, p. 45.
It is very very yummy. I served it for a breakfast-for-dinner night.

Caramelized Banana French Toast

• 2 Tbsp unsalted butter
• 1/4 c. brown sugar
• 1/4 c. crushed walnuts
• 2 bananas (mine had yellow spots, but not over-ripe)
• 1 c. milk
• 2 Tbsp. orange juice
• 3 eggs
• 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
• 1 Tbsp. vanilla extract
• 8 slices of bread (homemade is the best!)

Heat butter in a medium pan with medium heat, add 2 Tbsp. orange juice and all of the brown sugar. Stir until dissolved. Cook until bubble (1-2 minutes). Add walnuts, cook for 2 minutes. Add bananas and heat through. Stir in 1/4 c. milk. Set aside and keep warm.
Whisk together the remaining 3/4 c. milk, eggs, cinnamon, and vanilla. heat a large skillet over medium heat. Spray with Pam. Dip the bread for 30 seconds on each side.
Place the bread on the skillet and cook about 3 minutes or until golden brown.
Serve with banana topping.
