Bananas for Breakfast

Bananas are a very good breakfast food in and of themselves.
They're a delicious fruit that's gentle on the stomach,
so for people with delicate digestive systems (like yours truly),
bananas are perfect in the morning.
What's even better is that they can be used as a topping or mixed in with cereal.
However, while I was at home for Christmas,
my family and I went to our favorite breakfast diner,
Blueberry Hill,
where I discovered a use for bananas for breakfast that was so ingenious,
I wish I had thought of it:
Banana Nut French Toast.




It's French Toast,
but made with their homemade banana nut bread
(which I haven't had a chance to try yet).

I ordered the Blue Plate Special, which comes with two pieces of the French Toast, 2 eggs any way you want them, and 2 pieces of any meat you desire,
all for about $7.
That's not bad.

And let me tell you, the Banana Nut French Toast was definitely worth it.
It retained the comfy cozy taste of banana bread,
even with powdered sugar and syrup on in.
The banana slices on top just made it all the better.

The only caution I'd give is for those with nut allergies (obviously),
as this dish does contain nuts (which kind I am uncertain of, though).

Still, if you want to try this at home,
simply make up some banana bread using the banana chocolate chip muffin recipe I posted earlier,
take out the chocolate chips (or leave them in if you prefer) and bake in a loaf pan instead.
Then slice the bread, dip it in a whipped egg with a little milk, and toss it in a frying pan until it's toasted.
Add butter, syrup, and powdered sugar and there you go!

You can add or subtract ingredients too, depending on your tastes, of course.
The possibilities are endless!


Banana Flavor: 6
Banana Accuracy: 10
Banana Texture: 8

Overall Rating: 8  (Delicious and simple, this breakfast dish is great for anyone who doesn't mind the occasional crunch of a nut in their French Toast.  Not my very first option for breakfast, but if you're going all out, you might as well try something new, right?)


Enjoy!
