Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 large eggs
1/2 cup half-and-half
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
6 tablespoons light brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
Eight 1/2-inch-thick slices banana bread
2 medium and ripe bananas, cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices

Steps:

Meanwhile, dip 4 slices of banana bread very briefly in the egg mixture (don't soak) letting the excess drip back in the dish. Add the dipped banana bread to the skillet and sprinkle each slice with 1 tablespoon brown sugar and pat in. Cook until the underside is golden brown, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook until golden brown on the second side, about 2 minutes.

Time 2h

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 bananas, mashed
3 large eggs
1 cup whole milk
½ cup heavy cream
¾ cup sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
½ teaspoon nutmeg
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
12 cups brioche bread, 1 loaf (day old bread)
1 cup chocolate chips
¼ cup pecan, chopped
8 tablespoons unsalted butter, 1 stick
1 cup brown sugar
½ teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons pecan, chopped
3 bananas, halved lengthwise and crosswise

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350˚F (180˚C).

  • In a medium bowl, combine the sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla and mix with a fork.
  • Add the sugar mixture to the custard mixture and stir to combine.
  • Add the cubed bread, chocolate chips, and pecans to the custard mixture and toss well to coat. Let soak for 10 minutes.
  • While the bread is soaking, make the caramel base: In a medium microwave-safe bowl, microwave the butter for about 2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds, until melted and hot.
  • Add the brown sugar and stir to combine. Microwave for another minute, stirring halfway, until the sugar is mostly dissolved.
  • Add the salt, vanilla, and pecans and stir to combine.
  • Pour the caramel into the bottom of a 9 (22 cm) x 13-inch (33 cm) baking dish and spread evenly. Arrange the bananas, cut side down, over the caramel.
  • Spoon the brioche-custard mixture evenly over the bananas.
  • Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes, then uncover and bake for 40-45 minutes longer, until the custard is set. Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes.
  • Run a knife around the edges of the baking dish to loosen the bake, then invert onto a rectangular serving dish. Do not wait any longer than 5 minutes or the bake will stick to the pan.
  • Slice and serve.

Provided by FLKeysJen

Categories     Breakfast

Time 22m

Yield 9 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

9 slices Texas toast thick bread or 1 French baguette, sliced in 1-inch thick pieces
6 eggs
1 1/2 cups coconut milk
2 tablespoons orange zest (the amount from one orange)
3 tablespoons Grand Marnier
1/2 cup butter (1 stick)
1 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon cinnamon
3 bananas, sliced (ripe)
1 g nonstick cooking spray

  • Chill covered overnight and then, the next morning, bake uncovered at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas for the best flavor and texture. Ripe bananas are also sweeter, so you can reduce the amount of sugar in the recipe.
  • If you don't have a baking dish, you can use a large skillet instead. Just be sure to grease the skillet well so the French toast doesn't stick.
  • You can also make this recipe with other fruits, such as blueberries, strawberries, or raspberries. Just be sure to add them to the batter before baking.
  • Serve the French toast with your favorite toppings, such as butter, syrup, or fruit. You can also dust it with powdered sugar or cinnamon.
  • If you have leftover French toast, you can store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Baked banana French toast is a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or brunch dish. It's perfect for using up ripe bananas, and it's a great way to get your kids to eat their fruit.

This recipe is also very versatile. You can add different fruits, nuts, or spices to the batter to create your own unique flavor combinations. And you can serve it with your favorite toppings, such as butter, syrup, or fruit.
