Bananas at Breakfast


It was a hit last weekend because it was oh, so good.  Great as a late breakfast, This French Toast is worth monkeying around in the kitchen for.  Kids can help slicing bananas, measuring, and mixing allowing for a fun time for all.

Enough for 4 Plates

Italian Loaf 1/2in Slices


Banana Topping (Start Before Toast so the Goodness can begin)
3 Bananas (Just Getting Ripe) Sliced, not too thin about 1/4 inch
Half-Stick Butter
1/4 Cup Brown Sugar
-Melt Butter in pan
-Add Bananas and Brown Sugar over LOW heat and stir occasionally.  *If it gets too hot the sugar will burn =  No Good.

Toast Batter
4 Eggs
1/2 Cup Milk
1/4 Cup Whipping/Heavy Cream
1 ts Vanilla
Dash of Salt
-Mix all Together


Whipped Cream
I enjoy making homemade whipped cream so I can add my on flavor.
For this recipe 1/2 ts of Almond Extract was added with 4 ts. Granulated Sugar to 3/4 Cup Whipping Cream.  It is tiring, so if you have a stand mixer I recommend you use that.

Toast in skillet or on griddle with butter, Add Banana goodness, Top with Slivered Almonds and Wha-La!
I'll try to remember to take photos from here on out.

Hope you get a chance to enjoy!
