Random Fact: Elvis's favorite food was fried peanut butter and banana sandwiches. I personally prefer mine not fried because I prefer not to be dead. A few years back I was elated when a chain restaurant started toting peanut butter and banana stuffed french toast. I was so happy when the waitress put down the plate I just stared at it in awe before I could actually consume it. I tasted the first gooey bite... and then inhaled the remaining three pieces of pb & b heaven. Now sadly, this was years ago and I haven't seen it since.
That is until yesterday morning, when I decided to recreate it in a more angelic form.
What it takes:
1 egg white
Splash of milk
A few shakes of ground cinnamon
2 slices of whole wheat bread
1 1/2 tablespoons of peanut butter
1 small banana, sliced
Heat a pan on medium heat, make sure it is coated with cooking spray. Whip together the first three ingredients on a plate with a fork, put that to the side. Then spread the peanut butter on one side of each slice of bread. Take one slice of bread and dip the opposite side in the egg mixture. Lay the dipped side down in the skillet, now take a few slices of the banana and put them on top of the peanut butter side. Next, dip the opposite side of the other slice of bread in the egg mixture and place it peanut butter side down on the bananas. Let the bread cook until it turns a light brown.
WARNING: May be tricky to flip!!!
Tip: Use a big spatula and the get the french toast on it, lift it out of the pan. Next turn the pan upside down over the uncooked side of the french toast and carefully put it it to the pan while flipping it over.
No need for syrup! Just top the french toast with the rest of the banana slices and enjoy!
