Yummy and Healthy Banana French Toast Sandwich image

This is something I just tinkered with until it came out to my liking. I tried it with jelly on the inside, but I couldn't taste it, so I just decided to leave the jelly out. The bananas still stay in between the bread without it. It's very delicious and low-fat as well. It doesn't even need syrup.

Number Of Ingredients 31

1/4 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup milk
1/4 teaspoon grated nutmeg
4 eggs
1 loaf store-bought or homemade banana bread, recipe follows, sliced into 1-inch-thick slices
3 tablespoons butter
3 bananas
1 cup sugar
Peanut Butter Mousse, recipe follows
2 ounces dark chocolate, grated, for garnish
Cinnamon Maple Syrup, recipe follows
Nonstick cooking spray, for the pan
1 cup sugar
7 ounces (14 tablespoons) butter, at room temperature
2 eggs, at room temperature
1 cup mashed banana
1/2 cup buttermilk, at room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
Pinch ground cloves
2 1/4 cups heavy cream
9 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
8 ounces peanut butter
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
3 cinnamon sticks
2 cups maple syrup

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F.
  • Whisk together the cream, milk, nutmeg and eggs in a bowl. Working in batches, soak the banana bread slices in the mixture.
  • Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat with a bit of the butter. Cook a batch of the banana bread slices until browned, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer to the oven to keep warm. Cook the remaining slices, adding more butter as needed.
  • Cut the bananas into oblique slices, place on a baking sheet and coat with the sugar. Brulee them with a kitchen torch or under a broiler (or leave raw if you do not have a torch or broiler).
  • Arrange the French toast on plates, top with a quenelle (oval-shaped scoop) of the Peanut Butter Mousse, spread the bruleed bananas about, grate chocolate over the top of it all and serve with a side of the warm Cinnamon Maple Syrup.
  • Position an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Spray an 8-by-4-inch loaf pan with nonstick spray and line the bottom of the pan with parchment paper.
  • In a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, cream the sugar and butter until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, scraping down the sides of the bowl between additions.
  • Combine the banana, buttermilk and vanilla in a bowl. Sift together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, salt and cloves in a second bowl. Add half of the flour mixture to the butter mixture and paddle just to combine. Scrape down the sides and then add the buttermilk and banana mixture. Scrape down again, and add the remaining flour until just combined uniformly.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake on the center rack until a toothpick inserted in the loaf comes out clean, 50 minutes to an hour, depending on your oven. Let cool for about 10 minutes, then remove from the pan to cool completely.
  • Whisk the cream to medium peaks and set aside.
  • In a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, cream together the cream cheese, peanut butter, sugar, salt and vanilla, scraping down the sides of the bowl halfway, until the mixture is uniform, about 5 minutes. Fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture, a third at a time. Refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Blacken the cinnamon a bit on a gas burner.
  • Put the maple syrup in a pan and heat until warm. Remove from the heat, add the blackened cinnamon sticks and let steep in the syrup for 20 minutes.

  • I cook 4 little half-sandwiches at a time for 3 minutes on the first side and 2 on the second until they are golden brown on each side.
  • Sprinkle with confectioner's sugar and top with raspberries and whipped cream!
  • Note: To keep them warm while I cook the rest, I keep them in a warm oven as they get done. Also, be sure to add more butter each time you put new sandwiches in the pan.

BAKED BANANA-ORANGE FRENCH TOAST



Baked Banana-Orange French Toast image

France meets French Polynesia! Exotic coconut, banana and cinnamon island flavors complement the rich creamy, buttery, orange staples of the French countryside. This is an easy breakfast or brunch meal since it's all made the day before (the 12 hours passive cooking time is when it sits in the refrigerator overnight). Serve it directly from the baking dish...no syrup or butter needed!

Yield 9 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

9 slices Texas toast thick bread or 1 French baguette, sliced in 1-inch thick pieces
6 eggs
1 1/2 cups coconut milk
2 tablespoons orange zest (the amount from one orange)
3 tablespoons Grand Marnier
1/2 cup butter (1 stick)
1 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon cinnamon
3 bananas, sliced (ripe)
1 g nonstick cooking spray

Steps:

  • Whisk together the eggs, coconut milk, orange zest and Grand Marnier in a bowl.
  • Combine the butter, brown sugar and cinnamon in a sauce pan and cook over medium heat, stirring until it becomes a smooth sauce; mix in bananas.
  • Spray one 9"x13" pan plus one 8"x8" pan with light cooking spray and line the pans with sliced bread; pour the egg mixture over the top, then the banana mixture.
  • Chill covered overnight and then, the next morning, bake uncovered at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas for the best flavor and texture. Overripe bananas will work well, too.
  • Mash the bananas with a fork or spoon until they are smooth and creamy. This will help them spread easily on the toast.
  • Use a thick slice of bread for a more substantial meal. A thin slice of bread will get soggy more easily.
  • Toast the bread until it is golden brown and crispy. This will help it hold up to the toppings.
  • Spread the mashed bananas on the toast while it is still hot. This will help them melt slightly and stick to the bread.
  • Top the banana toast with your favorite toppings. Some popular options include peanut butter, honey, cinnamon, and nuts.
  • Enjoy your banana toast immediately. It is best when it is fresh and warm.

Conclusion:

Banana toast is a quick, easy, and delicious breakfast or snack. It is a great way to use up ripe bananas and can be customized to your liking. With so many different topping options, there is sure to be a banana toast recipe that everyone will enjoy.
