Best Banana Maple French Toast Recipes

BRIOCHE FRENCH TOAST WITH BACON, BANANA & MAPLE SYRUP

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk the eggs vigorously, then add the single cream, vanilla and sugar, and whisk again.
• When you're ready to cook, heat the oven to its lowest setting, pop a baking tray inside and pour the cream mixture into a shallow dish or tub that will allow space for the brioche to lay flat. Heat a griddle or a frying pan to a medium heat, and melt the butter and the oil together.
• Place the brioche slices in the cream mixture for 1 min, then turn each slice and gently press all over, allowing them to soak up the liquid for another 1 min or so until fully soaked.
• Remove the brioche from the mixture and place onto the hot griddle or pan (you may need to do this in batches). Cook for a few mins on either side until the inside is tender and moist (but not wet). To check this, make a small cut in the middle with a knife - the inside should be like cooked bread pudding. Keep warm in the oven while you cook the remaining slices.
• In the meantime, fry the bacon in a pan for 5 mins until crispy. Serve the French toast topped with bacon, bananas and a drizzle of maple syrup.

BANANA FRENCH TOAST WITH BANANA COMPOTE AND MAPLE BUTTER

Steps:

• For the batter: combine eggs, cream, and bananas in a blender and mix until smooth. Add remaining ingredients and mix well. Remove to shallow dish for dipping the sliced brioche.
• Make hole in center of brioche with a long, narrow object, and stuff with banana.
• For the banana compote: add all ingredients except cornstarch to a saucepan, bring to a boil and reduce heat to medium low, and simmer until banana is barely tender, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in cornstarch mixture, return to heat and let simmer until thick and clear, about 1 more minute. Transfer to a bowl and keep warm.
• For the maple butter: combine together in a food processor until smooth.
• To assemble the dish, slice the banana stuffed brioche loaf into 1 1/2 inch slices, dip into batter, and in a medium saute pan over medium heat cook the slices in butter until golden brown on both sides. Serve slices with the banana compote and maple butter.

SPICE RUM BANANA STUFFED FRENCH TOAST WITH MANGO MAPLE SYRUP

Steps:

• For banana mixture
• In 8" skillet, melt 2 tablespoons I Can't Believe It's Not Butter!® Original Soft Spread. Add 3/4 of banana, peanut butter, rum, sugar and pinch of salt. You will get flames so be careful in handling your skillet. Bring to boil, breaking down the bananas using a wooden fork or spoon. Using same spoon, stir until bananas have cooked down and rum has infused. You want to end up with a semi-thick mixture with some chunkiness in the bananas. Set aside and cool.
• For toast
• Whisk eggs in medium bowl. Add milk, nutmeg, cinnamon and vanilla extract. Combine well. Drench each slice of bread until fully covered in egg mixture. Using stovetop grill pan, melt remaining 2 tablespoons of I Can't Believe It's Not Butter!® Original Soft Spread and grill one slice of bread. Top first slice with banana mixture, the cover with the second slice of bread and press down using a spatula. Cook on each side until bread is golden brown and egg is cooked through, approximately 4-5 minutes on each side. Lastly, cook remaining bananas in same grill pan for 2-3 minutes.
• For syrup topping
• In small bowl mash mango using fork until broken down but still a bit chunky. Stir in maple syrup until both are well combined. You may add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg here.
• To plate
• Slice French toast diagonally. Pour mango syrup, top with remaining bananas and dust with confectioner's sugar and a dash more cinnamon.

FRENCH TOAST STUFFED WITH BANANA & MAPLE SYRUP

Steps:

• Peel and slice the bananas, mash with the maple syrup and set aside. Place the eggs, milk, cream, vanilla, sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg in a wide, shallow bowl and whisk to combine.
• Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. Using a sharp knife, slice open each slice of brioche from the top to form a pocket, leaving at least 1cm around the edges. Stuff the pockets with the banana mix. Soak the stuffed brioche in the egg mix for 30 secs on each side.
• In a large non-stick pan, melt half the butter. When sizzling, place the brioche in the pan and fry for 2 mins each side until golden. You may have to do this in batches. Transfer to the oven to warm through for 5 mins. Serve drizzled with extra maple syrup and a spoonful of vanilla yogurt.
