Ingredients for Banana Nut French Toast

  • 1 ripe banana (mashed)
  • 1 cup rice milk
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • Maple Syrup
  • 4-6 slices of bread (your choice)

How to Make Banana Nut French Toast

  1. In a blender, combine 1 ripe banana (mashed), 1 cup rice milk, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and 2 tablespoons maple syrup. Blend until smooth.
  2. Pour the mixture into a shallow dish.
  3. Dip slices of bread (about 4-6 slices) into the mixture, ensuring both sides are fully coated.
  4. Lightly oil a griddle or large frying pan over medium heat.
  5. Cook the French toast for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. The bananas will caramelize beautifully on the griddle.
  6. Serve immediately, topped with your favorite nuts (e.g., chopped pecans, walnuts, or almonds), a drizzle of maple syrup, and a sprinkle of cinnamon (optional).

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
