| 3 | Separately, beat whipping cream in a medium bowl until stiff peaks form. Fold into chilled banana puree. |
| 4 | For French Toast: In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, cinnamon and vanilla. |
| 5 | Melt butter or margarine on a griddle or in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. |
| 6 | Working in batches, soak bread completely on both sides in the egg mixture. Add to griddle/skillet and cook until browned; turn and brown other side. Place completed French Toast slices on a serving plate and keep warm in oven. Repeat with remaining slices. |
| 7 | Top toast with dollops of Banana Cream. Serve with warm maple syrup, if desired. |
