Serves: 6
INGREDIENTS:
  • French Toast
  • 6 slices whole grain bread
  • 1 medium banana
  • ½ cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 2 eggs
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 pinch ginger
  • 1 pinch nutmeg
  • 1 tablespoon butter (or coconut or other vegetable oil)
  • Pecans
  • ½ cup pecans
  • 2 tablespoons butter (or coconut or other vegetable oil)
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • Grilled Bananas
  • 2 medium bananas, each cut into 9 slices
  • 1 teaspoon butter (or coconut or other vegetable oil)
  • Optional serving additions: plain Greek yogurt, fresh fruit and/or maple syrup
DIRECTIONS:
  1. Start off by melting the butter for the pecans (2 tablespoons) in a large skillet on the stove over medium high heat. Add in the maple syrup, stir to combine than add in the pecans. Cook for around 4-5 minutes, stirring frequently until the maple butter has reduced down and thickened up.
  2. Meanwhile, blend the french toast's banana, almond milk, eggs, vanilla, cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg together in a blender until smooth and pour into a shallow and wide tray.
  3. Remove the pecans from the skillet and set them aside. Wipe the skillet out with a paper towel then add in the new tablespoon of butter for the bananas and replace it on medium heat. Once the butter melts add in the bananas and cook until they soften and turn golden brown, after 2 minutes flip them around and place the bread slices in the egg mixture to soak. After another minute or 2 gently remove the bananas from the skillet and set aside. Flip the bread to soak on the other side.
  4. Wipe the skillet out one final time and then add in the last tablespoon of butter to melt. Place the saturated bread slices in the skillet and cook for around 2 minutes per side, until golden brown.
