This is Banana Bread French Toast with Vanilla Buttermilk Syrup and Orange Cloud Whipped Cream. It's a delightful melding of flavors—bananas and cinnamon, vanilla cream buttermilk syrup, and orange. The banana bread is loaded with cinnamon chips. The syrup has a butterscotch-caramel flavor with an addition of vanilla that tones the flavors down a bit and brings the butterscotch to the forefront. It’s topped with an orange whipped cream that adds the perfect touch. It’s super easy to make.
How to have Fun with Root Beer Flavor
Dennis WeaverAug 16, 2023
This the flavor of  my youth. After the Friday night ball games, we would drive up and down the boulevard in Stevie's Ford, spotting all the pretty girls. If we knew them and were brave enough, we would honk or wave. After the requisite number of trips up and down the boulevard, we would pull into the drive-in where another pretty girl would take our order. I was shy. I never got a date doing that but I had lots of root beer floats. And it was a fun time with our buddies. This is a fun flavor. Use your imagination and you'll have a lot of fun with it.  These ideas will get you started.

It was an upgrade to the classic grilled cheese sandwich I never knew I needed.
