Perfect family breakfast food!! It is sweet with the brown sugar and 2 syrups.. I used texas toast and bananas that are just ripe as they will get soggy in the mixture.. Oh I also used 1/2cp crushed pecans.. my kids aren't big nut fans... but this is so good and filling... enjoy!!!

oh my, is this delicious. i used the croissants, followed the easy directions and the results were spectacular. topped with whipped cream and served to a group of six friends, it was absolutely loved. i found it a little sweet, and i'm not sure how to reduce that. but it's a wonderful dessert and makes a nice presentation when the bananas are poured over the top. i made the croissants the day before due to time restraints and made it more of a custard, then chilled it overnight, so that there was a nice contrast to the warm banana topping. yum!
