Bananas Foster French Toast “Muffins”

Bananas Foster French Toast "Muffins"

Just a little blurb: If you’d like to see me move on to Round 3 of Project Food Blog, I’d really appreciate your vote here! You can check out my round 2 entry here. Thanks so much y’all!! 🙂

I tend to LOVE sweet breakfasts. Give me a stack of pancakes, some french toast, donuts, waffles…whatever. As long as it’s sweet! Don’t get me wrong, I love a good plate of scramble bambles (eggs- as my mom called them) or some crusty hashbrowns, but man, something about a sweet breakfast makes me drool. 🙂

This past weekend, I couldn’t stand it. I had to make some french toast. Not just any french toast, though. I had ripe bananas begging to be cooked into SOMETHING, so I decided to make bananas foster french toast.

Bananas Foster is a very popular dessert in New Orleans. It’s one of those dishes that is a ::must eat:: at Brennan’s Restaurant. They make it right in front of you, and it’s just so delicious. So, I figured this would be PERFECT in french toast, especially for my sweet tooth! You’ll notice that this recipe has no alcohol in it. It still comes out pretty tasty, I promise!

This recipe is another submission for the Nature’s Pride Bread Ambassador contest. They will be choosing 6 recipes/bloggers to represent them at the Foodbuzz Fest this year! I made two other recipe entries, which are here and here. As you can tell, the sweet tooth influenced these recipes heavily. 🙂

The verdict? OMG…delicious! It was so easy to put together and the little “muffin” servings help with portion control. That is, until you find yourself eating 3-4 of these with no remorse. 😉

makes 12 servings

Ingredients:

French Toast:

  • 12 slices Nature’s Pride Honey Wheat bread
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 tbsp. granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp. cinnamon
  • pinch of salt

Bananas Foster:

  • 1/2 stick butter
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp. cinnamon
  • 3 ripe bananas, cut in half lengthwise

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Mix eggs, milk, sugar, cinnamon and salt in a bowl. Add bread in and break it up into pieces as it absorbs the mixture. Let sit.
  3. In the meantime, melt butter in a large pan and add brown sugar/cinnamon. Stir until all sugar dissolves.
  4. Add in bananas and cook them down for a few minutes. Remove bananas from the pan and allow to cool. Set sauce to the side.
  5. Once the bananas are cool, add them to the bread mixture and mix by hand. Scoop the combined mixture into greased muffin pans and bake for 15-20 minutes (until a toothpick comes out clean).
  6. Serve with bananas foster sauce on top and enjoy!!
