Categories     main-dish

Time 2h45m

Yield 1 serving

Number Of Ingredients 24

Nonstick cooking spray, for the pan
1/3 cup (5 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon) butter, at room temperature, plus more butter for cooking toast
1/2 cup brown sugar
3 eggs
3 ripe bananas
1/4 cup Greek yogurt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
3 apples, peeled, small dice
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Pinch salt
1 tablespoon butter
3 eggs
1/4 cup 35 percent cream (whipping cream)
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Pinch salt
1/2 cup 35 percent cream (whipping cream)
3 tablespoons powdered sugar, plus more for dusting
Maple syrup, for serving

Steps:

  • For the banana bread: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a loaf pan with nonstick spray and line with parchment paper; spray the parchment.
  • Cream the butter and brown sugar in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, 5 minutes. Add eggs and mix for another 3 minutes, then add the bananas, yogurt and vanilla. Mix on low for 2 minutes, then add the flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda and mix until everything is incorporated, about 2 minutes. Add batter to prepared pan (it should fill the pan three-quarters of the way) and bake until a tester comes out clean, 60 to 65 minutes.
  • Take loaf out of pan and put on a cooling rack. Let cool completely.
  • For the apple compote: Add apples, brown sugar, cinnamon and salt to a pot over medium heat. Warm until sugar is dissolved, 5 minutes. Add butter and mix until the butter is melted and the sugar is bubbling, 2 minutes. Take pot off heat and let cool. Serve cold.
  • For the egg wash: Mix eggs, cream, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt in a bowl with a whisk until everything is incorporated.
  • For the whipped cream: Beat the cream together with the powdered sugar with a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment on 4th speed until nice and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Cut three 1/2-inch-thick slices of the banana bread and dip in the egg wash. Put in a hot frying pan with butter in it. Turn heat to medium and cook until golden brown, 3 minutes per side. Take off heat and cut the slices corner to corner into triangles. Make a circle with the 6 pieces so there is a little hole in the middle. Fill the hole with 2 tablespoons prepared apple compote and add 3 little pillows of whipped cream around the plate. Add some maple syrup (local syrup is best) and dust some powdered sugar on top. Enjoy!

EASY BANANA FRENCH TOAST



Easy Banana French Toast image

This is a simple and quick way to use those still good but aesthetically non-pleasing week-old bananas. I like to use a less dense, lighter bread with this recipe, like normal sandwich bread.

Yield 6 slices

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 banana
1 egg
1 pinch ground cloves
1 pinch ground ginger

Tips:

  • Using ripe bananas will give your French toast a sweeter and more intense banana flavor. If your bananas aren't ripe enough, you can ripen them quickly by placing them in a paper bag with an apple for a day or two.
  • To make sure your French toast is cooked evenly, use a griddle or large skillet that is heated over medium heat. If the heat is too high, the outside of your French toast will burn before the inside is cooked through.
  • Don't overcrowd the griddle or skillet when cooking your French toast. If you add too many pieces at once, they won't cook evenly and will end up soggy.
  • Serve your French toast immediately after cooking. This will ensure that it is crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside.

Banana French toast is a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or brunch dish. It's perfect for using up ripe bananas and is sure to be a hit with the whole family. With a few simple tips, you can make sure your banana French toast turns out perfectly every time.
