Instructions
1
Begin by gathering all your ingredients, ensuring the bananas are well-mashed and the oats are ready.

In your bread machine, add the water (starting with 1/2 cup and adding more if needed), mashed bananas, oil or yogurt, sugar, salt, oats, bread flour, and yeast in the order recommended by your machine's manual.

If using, place raisins in the dispenser designated for fruits/nuts or add them manually once the dough begins to come together.

Select the sweet bread setting with a medium crust and start the cycle. Allow the bread to bake until golden and fragrant.
5
Once baked, remove the loaf from the bread machine and let it cool on a wire rack.

To prepare the Banana Bread Stuffed French Toast, cut the cooled bread into thick slices and carefully create a pocket in each slice.

In a bowl, mix cream cheese with a splash of milk and a dash of vanilla until smooth. Spoon about 1-2 teaspoons of this filling into each pocket, sealing the edges to hold the filling.

In a shallow dish, beat the eggs with a little water. Heat unsalted butter on a skillet or electric griddle over medium-high heat.
