Tasty Tuesday: Banana French Toast

 Recently my family had the opportunity to try Sunmaid's Raisin Bread.  I have had it before, but it was the first time that my children and husband had it.  The bread has been a hit with my family and I happened to check out their website site and found the below recipe that you can create with this awesome bread.  I will definitely be writing a grocery list with all of the below ingredients so I can create this for our next family weekend brunch!

I received coupons to try the Raisin Bread for free, but views are 100% my own.  They are no way influenced by the coupons I received.
