Choco Nutty Banana French Toast

From simple bread and custard, a decadent breakfast dish is born. This French toast is crisp, sweet, and chewy. It’s the perfect start to a sunshine-y day. For more custard-based recipes, see “Master & make” in the July 2010 issue of Yummy.

Serves 2  Prep Time 10 minutes  Cooking Time 12 minutes

For the custard batter
1 1/2 tablespoons milk
1 1/2 tablespoons cream
1 teaspoon sugar
1 egg    
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 1/2 tablespoons oil, divided
1 1/2 tablespoons butter, divided
4 thick slices day-old bread, crusts removed if desired
1/2 cup chocolate peanut butter spread
2 ripe bananas, sliced
maple syrup and confectioners’ sugar, for topping

1  Make the custard batter: Whisk all ingredients in a bowl and set aside.

2  Heat oil and melt butter in a medium pan. Dip bread one at a time in custard batter. Fry bread in batches until golden and crispy, about 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Drain on paper towels. Repeat with remaining ingredients.  

3  Spread chocolate peanut butter on one side of the bread then top each with 3 to 4 banana slices. Drizzle with maple syrup and dust with confectioners’ sugar. Serve immediately.
