This sandwich would seem to fall into the category of breakfast since it's technically French toast. But, seeing as how the bread has been perfectly pressed into a panini sandwich, it works just as well for lunch or a snack on the run.

Recipe type: Breakfast
Serves: 2
Ingredients
  • 2 large eggs
  • ¼ cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons almond butter
  • 4 teaspoons maple syrup, plus more for drizzling
  • 1 large banana
  • 4 slices multigrain bread (or gluten-free bread if you have gluten issues)
Instructions
  1. Crack the eggs into a shallow bowl. Add almond milk, vanilla extract, and cinnamon; stir with a whisk to combine.
  2. Combine almond butter and maple syrup in a small bowl. Cut the banana into thin slices.
  3. Spread the almond butter mixture evenly across two of the bread slices. Top those bread slices with the banana pieces. Place the remaining two bread slices over the banana pieces, sandwiching the almond butter and bananas inside.
  4. Heat a panini press to 425° or high heat. Dip the sandwiches into the egg mixture, and let excess drip off. Lightly coat grill plates of panini press with cooking spray, if needed. Arrange sandwiches on press. Close panini press, pushing down gently to flatten. Cook 3 to 4 minutes or until sandwiches are browned on the outside and hot in the center.
  5. Place sandwiches on a cutting board. Cut in half diagonally. Drizzle with maple syrup and serve immediately.
