Banana Bread French Toast
for bread (makes one [9x5) loaf )
2
1/2 cups whole wheat pastry flour
1
1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4
teaspoon salt
1/2
teaspoon cinnamon
1/4
teaspoon nutmeg
2/3
cup brown sugar
1
large egg
2
teaspoons vanilla extract
4
large bananas, mashed (about 1 1/2 cups)
1/2
cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
1/4
cup milk
Preheat
oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a loaf pan (mine was 9×5) liberally with non-stick
spray or grease with butter. In a bowl, mix together flour, salt, cinnamon,
nutmeg and baking powder, then set aside.
In
a large bowl, whisk egg and sugar together until smooth. Whisk in vanilla
extract, then add bananas and milk and mix until combined. Add in dry
ingredients slowing, mixing with a spoon until batter comes together. Add in
melted butter and stir until incorporated. Pour batter into prepared pan and
bake for 50-55 minutes, or until center is set and a toothpick inserted comes
out clean. Let cool completely - best if cooled overnight.
for french toast using 1/2 loaf (about
6 slices)
3
large eggs
1/2
cup heavy cream
1
teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4
teaspoon cinnamon
butter
for the pan
Slice
banana bread to desired thickness. In a bowl, combine eggs, vanilla, cream and
cinnamon, whisking until combined. Heat a griddle or large skillet over medium
heat and brush with butter. Dip each slice into the egg mixture for about
30 seconds to coat completely, then place on the buttered surface. Cook until
golden and somewhat crispy, about 2 minutes per side. Serve with sliced
bananas, fresh whipped cream, syrup and a sprinkle of graham cracker crumbs.
For a drizzly chocolate, combine 2 tablespoons chocolate chips and 1/4 teaspoon
coconut oil in the microwave for about 45 seconds, mixing once during cooking
time, until melty.
I’m
going to thank bananas for the rest of my life
