Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan and set aside.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas, melted butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, egg, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.

5. Allow the banana bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
6. Once cooled, slice the banana bread into thick slices, about 1 inch thick.
7. In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg to make the French toast batter.
8. Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt a pat of butter.
9. Dip each slice of banana bread into the French toast batter, coating both sides evenly.
