This little Hawaiian place that we frequent serves the BEST french toast in the world. I am absolutely convinced of that fact. I have been wanting to recreate it for so long and am happy to say that I have finally done it. You guys, it is truly the best! It is a peanut butter banana french toast served on Hawaiian bread with a peanut butter cereal topping. It is crunchy, creamy, sweet, and decadent all at once. I power mine down with a nice ice cold glass of guava juice. If you truly want to go the authentic Hawaiian route then you MUST serve this french toast with coconut syrup (but maple syrup works too). 
The best part about this recipe is how truly simple it is and chances are you have all the ingredients already on hand. If you can’t find sliced Hawaiian bread, you can substitute thick pieces of Texas Toast. You can use any kind of peanut butter, creamy or crunchy. My favorite part is the cereal crust around the french toast. Have you ever had cornflake french toast? It’s kinda like that…except a million times better.

Instructions
- Preheat a skillet on medium-high heat on the stovetop.
