Picture this: You’re waking up to the most heavenly aroma wafting through your home, and guess what? You’re the mastermind behind it! Ladies (and gents), let me share my absolute favorite breakfast recipe that’ll make you feel like you’re dining at a fancy brunch spot – my Caramelized Banana French Toast with Maple Pecan Butter. Trust me, this one’s a total game-changer!
First off, can we talk about how boring regular French toast can be? Well, honey, not anymore! This recipe takes our beloved breakfast classic and gives it that extra oomph that’ll have your family thinking you secretly enrolled in culinary school.
Here’s what you’ll need:
– 6 thick slices of brioche bread (because we’re fancy like that!)
– 3 large eggs
– 1 cup whole milk
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
– 2 ripe bananas
– 2 tablespoons brown sugar
– 4 tablespoons butter
– 1/2 cup chopped pecans
For the maple pecan butter:
– 1/2 cup softened butter
– 2 tablespoons maple syrup
– 1/4 cup finely chopped pecans
– Pinch of salt
Okay, let’s get cooking! (By the way, if you’re loving this recipe already, make sure to follow me on Newsbreak for more mouthwatering recipes that’ll make your taste buds dance! 💃)
Instructions:
1. Mix eggs, milk, vanilla, and cinnamon in a shallow dish. Don’t worry if some cinnamon clumps – we’re not perfect, and neither is our whisking!
1. While that’s sitting pretty, let’s make our maple pecan butter. Mix all ingredients until smooth and pop it in the fridge. (Pro tip: make extra – you’ll thank me later!)
1. Now for the fun part! Slice those bananas and sprinkle them with brown sugar. Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a pan and caramelize those babies until they’re golden brown. Set aside and try not to eat them all (I know it’s tempting, girl!).
1. Dip each slice of brioche in your egg mixture (both sides, don’t be shy!), and fry in butter until golden brown and crispy around the edges.
1. Stack those beautiful slices, top with caramelized bananas, a generous dollop of maple pecan butter, and shower it with extra pecans because, honestly, why not?
Y’all, when I tell you this breakfast is life-changing, I mean it! The combination of crispy-yet-custardy French toast, warm caramelized bananas, and that maple pecan butter that melts into every bite… _chef’s kiss_
