Is there any meal more unifying than brunch? It’s the perfect something-for-everyone affair: breakfast or lunch, sweet or savory, cocktails or coffee — anything goes, and frankly, we’re missing it. Sure, you can whip up eggs and pancakes at home, but the best brunch dishes are those over-the-top concoctions best left to the pros.
Until now. Disney has been dishing out recipe after recipe to keep us cooking at home and, just in time for Mother’s Day, they’ve shared a positively decadent brunch recipe to make at home: Chocolate, Peanut Butter, Banana French Toast.
Here’s a picture of the dish, as created by Instagrammer @scottfamilytravels. Swipe right to see additional images of its preparation:

This dish comes from the menu at Disney’s PCH Grill at Disneyland’s Paradise Pier Hotel. Disney parks and resorts may be shuttered right now, but at least you can whip up a vacation-worthy breakfast in your own kitchen.
This one-dish recipe looks and sounds impressive but is actually so simple to make. Mix cubed challah bread, sliced bananas and chocolate chips in a bowl and drench with a mixture of eggs, peanut butter, chocolate milk, cinnamon and salt. Pour into a baking pan, pop it in the oven for 35-40 minutes or until golden brown, and finish with a drizzle of chocolate syrup and powdered sugar. Brunch is served!
