Tweet

Ingredients
4 slices whole grain bread *see notes
1/2 cup soy milk or other non-dairy milk
3 bananas, sliced
1 tsp vanilla
1 1/2 tsp cinnamon, divided
1/2 cup maple syrup
2 1/2 tbsp unrefined cold pressed coconut oil, divided (or butter, but it would not be vegan)
2 tbsp coconut flakes (optional garnish)
Directions
1. In a blender process the milk, 1/2 a banana, vanilla, 1/2 tsp cinnamon and cardamom until smooth.
2. Pour into a pie plate or other flat dish. Set aside.
3. In a skillet, heat the maple syrup, 2 tbsp of the oil and the remaining 1 tsp cinnamon over medium heat until bubbling. Reduce heat to low and slice the remaining bananas into the syrup. Cook 1 minute and then flip the bananas over and cook a minute more. The bananas should be heated through but not over cooked to mush. Turn off heat and set aside.
4. Heat the remaining 1/2 tbsp oil in a non -stick grill pan or large non-stick skillet over medium high heat. Dip the bread slices into the milk mixture and place on the grill pan.
5. Reduce heat to medium low and let cook 3-4 minutes without moving. Lift an edge of the bread and if it is browned and lifts easily flip over to the other side and cook an additional 3-4 minutes or until browned and slightly crispy.
6. For each serving place one slice of toast on a plate, top with 1/4 of the bananas and syrup and then place the other slice of toast on top of that. Top with another 1/4 of the bananas and syrup. Garnish with coconut flakes if using.
