Caramelized Banana French Toast With Chocolate Sauce Recipes

CHOCOLATE BANANA FRENCH TOAST BREAKFAST BAKE RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350˚F (180˚C).
• Make the banana custard: In a large bowl, mash the bananas. Add the eggs, milk, and heavy cream and stir to combine.
• 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.
• Enjoy!

QUICK FRENCH TOAST WITH CARAMELIZED BANANAS

Steps:

• Preheat nonstick skillet to 350, medium high.

• Let about 1 teaspoon butter melt in skillet. Cook french toast in butter about 1 min per side, until just golden brown. Is desired, sprinkle with cinnamon before flipping. (If using strips, cook on all four sides.).
• Remove french toast to warm plate.
• In skillet, combine brown sugar and remaining butter.
• Add banana. Cook just enough to coat all sides with bubbling butter/sugar mixture, and carmelize slightly; less than 2 minutes total.
• To serve, top french toast with caramelized banana and any of the butter/sugar mixture left in the pan.
