  1. Slice bananas, set aside.
  2. Slice french bread into cubes, place in a large bowl, set aside.

  5. Repeat bread and bananas layers.
  6. Slice butter and place it on top.
  7. In a mixing bowl or a stand mixing bowl , add eggs, milk, sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla, mix to combine. Pour your egg mixture over the bread.
  8. Prepare your Instant Pot by adding a ½ cup of water. Add your trivet to your Instant Pot. Place your baking dish in your pot on top of the trivet. Set the High Pressure to high for timer for 25 minutes. When timer goes off, turn the steam release valve to “venting”. Let sit for 10 minutes to allow the french toast to settle and become firm.
