For the Strawberry Banana Syrup

  3. Spread 1 tablespoon of peanut butter along one edge of each slice of bread.
  4. Top peanut butter with 3 slices of strawberries and 3 slices of banana per piece of bread.
  5. Starting with the end of the bread topped with fruit, gently roll the bread around the banana and strawberry slices into a log shape. Secure each one with a toothpick, then dip into French toast batter.
  6. Preheat griddle to medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter to the griddle.
  7. Working in batches, remove toothpicks from roll ups and place on griddle, seam side down. Cook 5-7 minutes or until golden brown on all sides, turning as needed.
