I'm participating in the Celebrity Cook-Along hosted by Lynn at Happier Than A Pig In Mud. This months celebrity chef is Rachael Ray, and I decided to make her Monkey French Toast. Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day, so I headed directly to Rachael's brunch recipes when I looked her site up. This is also one of many "Yum-o!" recipes – it's good and good for you. To find out more about Yum-o!, Rachael's nonprofit organization, go to www.yum-o.org.
My Verdict: Delicious! How can you go wrong with a dish that has peanut butter and bananas in it? You cant when it comes to my household bunch. Warm, sweet, gooey... what a wonderful breakfast treat.
Monkey French Toast
Source: Rachael Ray
1 small ripe banana, peeled and sliced
1 tablespoon honey, plus some for drizzling
1/4 cup peanut butter (I used natural)
4 slices whole grain bread (I used my homemade bread)
2 eggs, beaten
A splash of milk
1 tablespoon butter
Pretend that you don't notice I forgot the butter in this shot. :)
Mash the banana with a fork and combine with honey and peanut butter.
Make two sandwiches with bread and monkey spread.
Dip sandwiches in eggs beaten with milk.
Cook on a griddle or skillet in warm butter until golden on each side and cooked through.
Drizzle with a little extra honey or my homemade pancake syrup and serve.
Serves 2 monkeys : )

Thanks Diane, I'll be there. :)
I am not a big breakfast cook like you, but this looks so good and surprisingly healthy. Maybe we can have breakfast for dinner one night.:)

Oh this looks so yummy! I'll have to save the recipe for when DH goes on a business trip, then I can eat it all without getting one of those looks! He hates fried sandwiches of any description.
Thanks for stopping by
