The name looks so fancy, doesn't it? This is a decadent breakfast with banana bread, in my opinion (and more healthier!!).
I had no idea, there was such a thing called banana bread french toast, until my dear husband came home from a conference and was raving about a French toast he ate at some restaurant in Corpus Christi, Texas. I am an all time fan of banana bread and French toast. And, there is a recipe that these two come together? I am all in. I tweaked the regular banana bread recipe to make it a little bit healthier, by using spelt flour. So here is my version of recipe and it makes one 8 inch loaf.
Ingredients for banana bread:
Coconut oil - 1/4 cup (any oil would work)
Buttermilk - 1/4 cup
Vanilla - 1/2 teaspoon
Sugar - 1/2 cup
Banana - 3/4 cup (2 medium bananas)
Egg - 1 no
Spelt flour - 1 and 1/4 + 1/3 cup (regular flour works very well too, substitution is the same amount)
Baking soda - 1 teaspoon
Salt - 1/4 teaspoon
Nuts or seeds - 1/2 cup (walnuts or sunflower seeds are some options)
Preheat the oven to 350 degree Fahrenheit or 175 degree Celsius. Start with wet ingredients. After mixing all the wet ingredients well, add in all the dry ingredients except the nuts. Make a smooth batter. Fold in the nuts or seeds (avoid them if you don't like to bite nuts in your bread). Bake in a loaf pan for 40-50 minutes. Start checking at 30 minutes.
Now, for the French toast..
Egg - 1
Milk - 2 tablespoons
Cinnamon - 1/4 teaspoon
Sugar - 1 teaspoon
Whisk together egg and milk, then add sugar and cinnamon. This mixture is good enough for 5 - 6 slices of bread. Heat a pan on medium and fry the bread dipped in this mixture each side for couple minutes or until slightly brown. And you are good to go!
For Glaze/topping
Low fat Greek yogurt - 1/2 cup
Powdered sugar - 1/4 cup
Vanilla - a splash
Beat well all the ingredients by hand. Top your French toast with glaze, then it's time to serve with sliced banana and drizzled with some maple syrup. This is so good!!!
