Main Ingredients
- 1 slice of bread (a thicker slice works best)
- 1 ripe banana
- 1 handful of fresh blueberries (for garnish)
- A pinch of powdered sugar (for garnish)
- 25g butter (about 1.5 tablespoons)
Sweet Toast Batter
- 1 large egg
- 30ml milk (about 2 tablespoons)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (adds a lovely aroma)
- 0.5 tsp ground cinnamon (adjust to your taste)
- 1 large egg
- 30ml milk (about 2 tablespoons)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (adds a lovely aroma)
- 0.5 tsp ground cinnamon (adjust to your taste)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s prepare the sweet batter that will make your French toast so delicious. In a bowl, gently whisk one large egg until smooth. Make sure there are no lumps for the best consistency.
Step 2
To the whisked egg, add 30ml of milk, 1 teaspoon of fragrant vanilla extract, and 0.5 teaspoon of ground cinnamon for a warm spice note. Whisk everything together thoroughly until well combined. A gentle cinnamon aroma indicates your batter is ready.
Step 3
Now it’s time to soak the bread. Place one slice of bread into the prepared batter and let it soak for about 10 minutes, ensuring both sides are evenly coated and have absorbed the mixture. This soaking process is key to achieving a tender and moist French toast. Be careful not to soak it for too long, or the bread might become too soggy.
Step 4
Heat a frying pan over medium heat and add 25g of butter. Once the butter has melted, slice the banana in half and place it in the pan. Grill the banana slices until they are golden brown and slightly caramelized, releasing their sweet aroma. These grilled bananas will be a wonderful addition to your toast.
Step 5
Gently move the grilled bananas to one side of the pan. Place the soaked bread slice into the empty space. Cook the French toast over medium-low heat until both sides are a beautiful golden brown and crisp. You’re aiming for a texture that’s crispy on the outside and custardy on the inside. Keep an eye on the heat to prevent burning.
Step 6
Arrange the perfectly cooked French toast on a plate. Top it with the warm, grilled banana slices. Sprinkle a handful of fresh blueberries over the top for a pop of color and freshness. Finally, dust with a little powdered sugar using a sieve for a beautiful finish. Your homemade Banana French Toast is ready to be enjoyed with a cup of coffee or tea!
