Banana French Toast Casserole

Instant Pot French Toast

This decadent breakfast treat is a great way to start the day. It’s delicious, and all you have to do is layer it in a baking dish and pop it in the Instant Pot for a quick and yummy breakfast idea.

Start with your favorite bread. I suggest choosing a thick slice of french bread, or something fruity or nutty. You’ll thank me for this suggestion, because it makes the french toast casserole taste so much better.

You can skip all of the time it takes to dip and soak each slice of bread; this delicious french toast cooks all at once in an instant pot like a casserole. Full of a creamy custard of eggs, milk, cinnamon, and brown sugar.

Instant Pot French Toast Casserole

This instant Pot French Toast Casserole is perfect for a Sunday brunch, Easter brunch or any brunch with family and friends. You don’t have to save it for a special occasion. Your family will enjoy this yummy french toast anytime you serve it up.

This Banana Nut French Toast works the best if you cook it in a casserole dish rather than right in your IP.

By adding some water into the instant pot and using a trivet or sling, it will keep your french toast from burning and bake it perfectly more like a delicious bread pudding but for breakfast. Just center your french toast on the trivet in the center of the instant pot.
