Within the age of viral and sometimes antagonistic TikTok recipes, it’s good to see one thing classic get consideration. Take this “secret banana” french toast—The Reddit-famous recipe is sort of easy: Puree half a banana with an egg and somewhat cinnamon, dip some entire grain bread within the batter, and fry in butter. It’s type of like these two-ingredient banana pancakes, solely with precise bread and gluten concerned (fortunately).
You could have seen the French toast pictured within the picture above has not been made with entire grain bread. That’s as a result of I didn’t have any in my home—however I did have some challah, which my most well-liked bread for making French toast. (If you wish to see a evaluation of the recipe precisely as written, head to The Kitchn.)
Regardless of your bread choice, I’m assured you’ll get pleasure from “invisible banana” French toast, offered you want the flavour of bananas. The batter is nice and its sugars caramelize superbly within the pan, giving the dish a nice, however not overpowering banana taste. When made with challah, it tastes like a banana-flavored doughnut. When made with challah and completed with raspberry jam or strawberry sauce, it tastes like a banana-flavored jelly doughnut. In case you fry it in oil as a substitute of butter, it’s dairy-free, which is good for the lactose-intolerant.
Like several French toast, you may maintain the toppings easy (butter and maple syrup), however I urge you to slice up the opposite half of the banana and fan the slices out on prime, maybe over a smear of Nutella. Banana and Nutella work magic collectively.
