YUMMY AND HEALTHY BANANA FRENCH TOAST SANDWICH



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.

Mmm what a great french toast! I go wild when I cook sometimes, and this is definitely one of my experiments that worked for the better! Its good-for-you and good-for-your-taste-buds! This is softer then your classic french toast, but the yummy flavors are just too good to resist!

Categories     Breakfast

Time 35m

Yield 4-6 pieces of toast, 2-3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 egg whites (or 1 egg)
1/4 cup mashed ripe banana (about 1/2 a large banana)
1/2 cup skim milk
1 1/2 teaspoons melted reduced fat margarine (non-hydrogenated)
1/4 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 teaspoon banana extract (banana flavour)
3 tablespoons whole wheat flour
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
4 -6 slices whole wheat bread, best if stale (Amount depends on how thick your bread is or how much you let it absorb. I use 6 pcs sandwich bread.)

Steps:

  • Preheat a greased griddle or frying pan (not too hot or they will burn before they cook).
  • Puree (in a food processor, blender, or smoothie maker) the mashed banana, milk, vanilla, and banana flavour until the banana is completely smooth with no lumps. Add melted margarine and egg whites and pulse until completely incorporated.
  • Sift the next 3 ingredients (flour through cinnamon) in a small bowl.
  • Transfer wet ingredients into a larger bowl, and whisk dry ingredients into wets, and ignore small flour lumps.
  • NOTE: Be sure to whisk batter before dipping each batch of toast. Also, dont add any extra banana or milk to the batter (it will result in soggy toast).
  • Dip each side of the toast in the batter for a couple of seconds, and allow some of the excess batter to drip off. (for the last piece of bread you will likely have to swab up the remaining batter. Don't worry if the toast tears, just stick it back together on the frying pan).
  • Cook each side just over a minute, or until browned to your desired colour.
  • Serve with lots of maple syrup. Refrigerate the leftovers and put them in the toaster the next day. OR cool on a cooking cooling rack, and when completely cool, wrap in foil and freeze. Warm in microwave then toast and enjoy!

Categories     main-dish

Time 9h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Nonstick cooking spray, for coating baking dish
One 8-ounce whole wheat baguette, cut into twenty-four 1/4-inch slices
One 12-ounce can evaporated fat-free milk
1 cup reduced-fat (2-percent) milk
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Pinch kosher salt
4 large eggs
1/3 cup chopped pecans
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • For the French toast: Coat a 9- by 13-inch baking dish with cooking spray. Arrange the bread slices on the diagonal in 3 rows in the dish, slightly overlapping the slices. Whisk together the evaporated milk, milk, vanilla and almond extracts, cinnamon, salt and eggs until well combined. Pour the egg mixture over the bread slices, taking care to evenly coat the bread. Cover with aluminum foil and refrigerate for at least 8 hours, or overnight. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Remove the foil from the baking dish and spoon any remaining egg mixture over the top of the bread pieces to assure they are evenly moistened.
  • For the topping: Sprinkle the pecans evenly over the bread. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of the maple syrup and the cinnamon. Bake until golden, about 40 minutes. Drizzle with the remaining 1/4 cup maple syrup and serve.

EASY BANANA FRENCH TOAST
