Banana French Toast with Nutella

-


French toast is a classic yummy treat to have for breakfast and I feel ashamed to say that I haven't had a lot of it in my life and god knows why because it's so delish! I've always been more of a pancake kinda gal and my favourite toppings are nutella with bananas, so I then thought why not have a banana french toast mixture with nutella for the filling, yum yum! Below is the recipe and I hope you enjoy.

There's enough mixture for two slices of bread.

Ingredients:
  • 1 Very Ripe Banana
  • 1tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 140ml Milk
  • 1 Egg
  • Sprinkle of Nutmeg
  • Something to grease the pan (butter or I use coconut oil spray)
  • Nutella
  • Roasted Chopped Hazelnuts (optional)

Instructions:

Step 1: First get your banana, if it is already very ripe skip this next step. If your banana is yellow like mine was, get a knife and make a couple of slits in the middle of the banana with the skin still on and put it in the microwave for 50 seconds to 1 minute or until it starts to turn brown/black. You can also put the banana in the oven instead at 180℃ fan for about 5-6 minutes. The more ripe the banana is, the sweeter it will be!


Step 2: Get a dish out and pour in the milk and then add the vanilla extract, the egg, and sprinkle a bit of nutmeg in as well. Give it a mix with a fork until it is all combined.


Step 3: Next peel the skin off the banana and mash it with the back of a fork and tip it into the milky mixture and stir. Then get a slice of bread and put it in the mixture for 30 seconds to 1 minute and then tip it over on the other side and soak for the same amount of time. Make sure to scoop some of the banana on top of the bread if it isn't sticking.



Step 4: Grease your pan and put it on a medium heat on the hob. Place the soaked slice of bread in the pan, make sure to do it carefully so that it doesn't tear apart. Cook it until both sides are dark brown and feels crispy.

 

 

Step 5: Once you have cooked two slices, spread the Nutella on top and sandwhich them together, or you could have a single piece and spread Nutella on top with a sprinkle of roasted chopped hazelnuts.

 

Hope you all enjoy this nutty, sweet edible goodness!

Italy: A Coastal Food Guide

I think we can all agree that Italian food is just like heaven on a plate. The burst of rich flavours combined with the vibrant colours and smooth and crunchy textures will get your taste buds excited on all the feasts that Italian food has to offer. This will be a guide to lead you through all of the delicious food, such as pasta, pizza, gelato and more down by Rapallo, Santa Margherita, Portofino, Genoa and the Cinque Terre.  I'll start off with Rapallo, my favourite food place was at this hotel called Hotel Europa or as I liked to call it the pink palace, as it stood out from it's surroundings by its' vibrant colour. This hotel has a very wide restaurant space and a quiet calming atmosphere. The people who work there also seem to be Ed Sheeran fans, as there was a lot of his music playing quietly in the background, no complaints from me!😂I think it was my favourite place to eat, because the food was so creamy to the point where it melts in your mouth and it was so...

......................................................................................................................................       ........................................................................................................................................ It's becoming increasingly popular in our daily breakfasts and even dessert. I have recently loved adding this delicious oat, fruit and sweet blend into my food, especially smoothie bowls! Of course I love eating this combo for the taste, but also because it fills me up and I'm someone whose appetite is ridiculous and it takes something special like this to do the job! So if you love granola as much as I do and would love to learn how to make some, please see below for my recipe.

Spring is slowly heading into summer in the UK at the mo, but as I am writing it is currently pouring down with rain and is very cold - classic. To be fair though it has been hot and sunny in the last few weeks, if you count 25℃ as hot, haha only in England. Anyway, I thought I'd share with you on how to make some homemade elderflower cordial, because it's that time of year and we actually have elderflower growing in our garden, which is such a revelation because we are not natural green-fingered people at home. If you don't have an elderflower tree/bush at home, then why not take a walk, you'd be surprise how much elderflower there is outside your front door! Below is the recipe for a refreshing drink that will keep you cool and your tastebuds tingling for more! Ingredients: 5 elderflower heads (make sure they are fully bloomed) 450ml boiling water 340g caster sugar 2 Lemons Also you need a glass bottle, which is sterilised - look at st...
