This Banana and Blueberry French Toast is a cozy, toddler-friendly breakfast that combines soft bread, naturally sweet banana, and juicy blueberries. It’s easy to make, nourishing, and perfect for little hands to enjoy. Parents will love how quick it is to prepare while still offering a balanced meal.
Whisk the egg, milk, and cinnamon in a shallow bowl until smooth. This creates the custard base for your French toast.
Dip each slice of bread into the mixture, coating both sides well so the flavor soaks in.
Warm butter or oil in a skillet over medium heat to prevent sticking and give a golden finish.
Cook the bread for 2–3 minutes on each side until lightly crisp and golden brown.
Spread mashed banana over one slice, then sprinkle blueberries on top for sweetness and color.
Add the second slice on top to make a sandwich, then cut into toddler-friendly pieces.
Let cool slightly before serving so it’s safe for little mouths to enjoy.
