French toast gets a tasty twist with the addition of bananas, rum extract and pecans. The use of cinnamon bread is ideal!

Very easy to make and had very good flavor, though we thought it average for french toast and not particularly outstanding thus the 3 spoon rating. It didn't remind me of Bananas Foster though, especially with merely being topped by uncooked bananas. I used honey oat bread and added spices; mixed in the bananas and topped it with the pecans just before baking. If I make it again, I'd add vanilla to the egg mixture. As far as it's comparison to bread pudding, while this recipe [and most other baked french toast recipes] is similar it certainly isn't the same. Bread pudding has lots more liquid compared to bread so that it cooks into a thick creamy mass. These overnight fench toast recipes are definitely more bread and not nearly as creamy as bread pudding.
