Tender chewy blondies are studded with adorable conversation heart candy and topped with cherry cream cheese frosting. Simple to make and oh so cute, these blondies are a wonderful dessert for Valentine's Day! Jump to Recipe Valentine's Day has never really been an exciting holiday for me. Growing up, I was labelled a nerd, so it wasn't until my later years, that I actually had someone to celebrate it with. Even now, it still feels like a regular day to me, because I make it a point to show my SO and the kids that I love them every single day; not just one special day a year. Sure I might get flowers, or chocolates, but that doesn't mean as much as getting them on a random day throughout the year. Even if we aren't gung ho about the holiday, it doesn't stop me for getting excited when I see all the Valentine's candies. Which was the case, this past weekend.

Peanut butter and banana sandwiches are dipped in custard, for a delicious twist on French toast.
Every morning hubs and my son usually have peanut butter with toast, or english muffins. Sometimes peanut butter and banana toast makes an appearance. Last weekend I decided to surprise them and pair peanut butter and banana with French toast.
The result was awesome! I mean peanut butter and banana sandwiches are good to begin with, but dip it in custard and fry it? HEAVEN! Not to mention a nice sweet drizzle of honey on top. Mr B said it was the best breakfast he's had in a long time. I think I'll take it as a challenge to up my weekend breakfast game, LOL. This makes a special weekend breakfast, or even a quick, easy and healthy dinner.
Peanut Butter & Banana French Toast
8 slices of bread
2 medium bananas
1/3 C peanut butter (I used creamy)
2 eggs
1/4 C milk
1/4 tsp cinnamon
pinch of salt
butter for frying
Preheat a skillet over medium heat.
Place the slices of bread on a clean surface. Spread an even amount of peanut butter on each slice of bread.
Peel and slice bananas into 1/4 inch slices. Place banana slices on 4 slices of bread, which has been covered with peanut butter. Top with remaining 4 slices of bread, peanut butter side down.
In a shallow dish, beat the eggs with the salt and cinnamon. Whisk in the milk, until well combined.
Add a dab of butter to the hot frying pan. Dip one sandwich into the egg mixture and place in frying pan. Cook until golden brown (about 3 minutes) before flipping and cooking the second side until golden brown (about 3 minutes). Repeat with remaining sandwiches, adding more butter to the skillet when needed.
Serve hot, with your choice of honey, pancake syrup or maple syrup.
