What is Bananas Foster French Toast?

Bananas foster is a a delicious and sweet treat that was created by chef Paul Blangé in new orleans. It consists of rich ingredients like heavy cream, overripe bananas, melted butter, dark brown sugar, ground cinnamon and vanilla. It was named for Richard Foster, who was the chairman of the New Orleans crime commission. It is traditionally made with dark rum as well, but this recipe omits that but is still amazing and super easy to make.

Bananas foster is typically served with vanilla ice cream, but it also goes great with French toast. All you have to do is make the French toast, then the sauce, and drizzle it over the top. Served with whipped cream and fruit, this makes for an amazing final dish.

Ever since we made this for the first time, it has become very popular in our house. The kids always request it for their birthday breakfast and my husband makes it every Sunday for a special breakfast.

How DoYou Make Bananas Foster?

One of the great things about this particular recipe is that it is easy to make and uses common ingredients like leftover bananas, heavy whipping cream, brown sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla.

I always start by making the french toast, because the bananas foster sauce doesn’t take very long to make and it is great served warm.

To make the bananas foster sauce, you will need the following ingredients:

• unsalted butter
• brown sugar (light or dark is fine)
• vanilla extract
• ground cinnamon
• heavy whipping cream
• bananas

For the French toast, you will need the following ingredients:

• Brioche bread (or any other bread that you prefer)
• heavy whipping cream
• vanilla extract
• cinnamon
• eggs

To make the sauce, start by melting the butter over low heat in a large skillet, and then adding the brown sugar. Next, you add the ground cinnamon and vanilla and let it simmer for about a minute. Finally, slowly add the heavy whipping cream, stirring quickly until you get the delicious creamy texture. The last step is to add the sliced bananas and stir until everything is combined. One of the best parts of this recipe is the warm bananas, so once they are a bit soft, remove from the heat and it is ready to serve either on top of the ice cream or the french toast, depending on how you are serving it.

For the French toast, you will start by combining the eggs, heavy whipping cream, cinnamon, and vanilla extract in a large bowl. Mix well and then get out the bread that you have chosen to use.

Heat a skillet to medium heat, and then dip each piece of bread in the liquid and cook until golden brown on each side. Serve quickly with the bananas foster sauce and enjoy!

I hope that you will try this recipe on one of those lazy days where everyone is at home, relaxing and spending time as a family. The secret to making this bananas foster french toast is having nice, thick bread, and making the Bananas Foster sauce with extreme caution so that it doesn’t burn.

Some people add rum or banana liqueur to the recipe, but I don’t like it, so I haven’t included it in this recipe. In my opinion it doesn’t affect the flavor at all so give it a try!
