Description
If you want to serve something special for breakfast, take a look: this Banana Bread French Toast is a great option for all that love it sweet in the morning.
Ingredients
1/3 cup (80ml) milk
1 large egg
1/8 tsp. ground cinnamon*
1/8 tsp. vanilla powder*
1 pinch of salt
4 thick slices of banana bread (see note)
some butter for frying
some sugar-cinnamon mixture (optional)
some whipped cream for serving
some fresh fruit, berries or banana slices for serving
some chopped nuts (optional)
some maple syrup* for drizzling (optional)
Instructions
1. Mix the milk with the egg, ground cinnamon, vanilla powder, and salt in a shallow bowl until well combined. Place the slices of banana bread in the milk mixture for some time so they can soak up some of the mixture – 10 to 15 seconds on each side should be enough. You don’t want them to soak up too much liquid. Take the slices out of the bowl and place them on a plate until you are ready to fry them.
2. Heat up a non-stick frying pan with a good amount of butter. Fry the soaked banana bread slices until nicely browned on both sides. If you like it sweeter, roll the fried banana bread in a mixture of sugar and cinnamon while still warm. Otherwise, just let them drain on a piece of kitchen paper.
3. Serve the banana bread french toast with some whipped cream, berries, banana slices, chopped nuts, and/or some maple syrup – whatever you like the most.
Notes
We normally serve a thick slice of banana bread french toast per person, but you could also cut the banana bread into thinner slices and then serve two per person. In that case you might need to add a bit more milk to the soaking mixture.
