Overnight Caramel Banana French Toast with Caramel Syrup is prepped the night before and ready in the morning. Filled with a caramel banana sauce and topped with homemade caramel syrup this is sure to become a new family favorite!
I just got back from an epic Disneyland retreat with some of my favorite blogging friends. Disneyland is absolutely magical for the Holidays! I am all about going to Disneyland for their amazing food! We were able to tour Disney’s new Festival of Holidays at California Adventure Park. It was so much fun tasting all of the different foods from around the world.
We started our time by checking into our suite at the Grand Legacy Hotel. The hotel is right across the street from Disney! It was so nice to be able to take a break from the park and walk across the street to relax. The room was amazing and I could envision my family staying there. I will always be staying that close to Disney from now on. It was so convenient and it will be great when I come back with the kiddos!
The view from the roof was breathtaking at sunset!
I love finding new restaurants in the park and Carthay Circle in California Adventure became a new favorite. They feature bold and diverse flavors with modern foods from Southern California. My favorite dish of the night were their tacos! They were a thai barbecue taco and absolutely incredible. Every dish was irresistible and they really paid attention to detail and the flavors were on point.
They also serve the prettiest drinks. I loved this non- alcoholic berry lemonade. It was so refreshing and perfect after a busy day at the park.
Oh and whatever you do…. DO NOT forget the creme brûlée dessert!
My recipe today was inspired by one of the most amazing breakfasts that I have ever had. It was at Flo’s Diner and it was the Caramel Banana French Toast. What a great way to start your morning at the park with a delicious breakfast!
I mean this french toast was baked to perfection and topped in the most amazing homemade caramel banana sauce. I had to come home and make it for my family instantly.
I love overnight french toast breakfasts for the holidays. They are great for making the night before and popping them in the oven for a delicious breakfast for the entire family. This breakfast is filled with the caramel banana goodness that I loved so much at Flo’s Diner. It is a breakfast that your family will love!
