I seen there was another on here, but this is different. If you are a person who measures, then this may not be for you. I made this up one morning when we had one banana left, that was well over-ripe.

Take one ripe to over-ripe banana, and mash it, like you would a banana for banana bread. Add to it, 2 eggs. And the preferable ratio of milk. I don't care for 'eggy' french toast, so I add quite a bit of milk, so I'd say 1 - 1 1/4 cups, but you could go less, depending on your preference. A teaspoon of vanilla, and cinammon to your taste. Wisk well, until ingredients are completely combined. Dip slices of bread in banana mixture, and place onto an already hot skillet. (I use butter to grease my pan, so I get that nice, crisp golden brown) A couple minutes on each side, (depending on thickness of bread)
I like to serve with either real maple syrup, or the butter flavored syrups with a little powdered sugar. (I like my stuff really sweet) It would probably be excellent with fresh strawberries.

Alternate recipe for pumpkin style French Toast: I also do something similiar with canned pumpkin, and make pumpkin french toast (All same ingrediants as above, but just a good dollop of canned pumpkin instead of banana) But I also prepare a syrup for it, in a pan over the stove. About 2 Tbls canned pumpkin, 1 cup butter flavored syrup (I use Miss Butterworth) and cinnamon to taste, a dash or two of pumpkin pie spice too. Add a dab of butter. Cook over low heat constantly mixing, until combined completely and warm. (almost at a simmer, but not quite.) Serve over pumpkin french toast with a pat of butter or whatever your preferred toppings are.

Also, if you can find the good thick bread for french toast all the better. =) Enjoy.
