Breakfast has always been my favourite meal and it usually consists of largely non-vegan elements. Today, I awoke with the thought of eggs, the desire for eggs, the undeniable craving for EGGS!! I poured myself into housework to try and ignore my ovo-thoughts and get through until lunch. But then I had an epiphany. I thought about how much I love fried bananas on french toast and started to wonder whether I could bring them together. With a little guidance from my cookbook, The Vegetarian Manifesto by Jay Fothergill, I made one of the best breakfasts I've ever had, vegan or not. I wasn't going to include a lot of recipes here, but this one I credit with renewing my optimism about veganism, so it deserves a mention:
Chop up one banana
Add some soy milk (like you would with normal french toast)
Sprinkle in cinammon and a little nutmeg
A food processor works best here, but if you don't have one, mash up these ingredients into a liquid goo.
Dunk in bread and let soak a bit, then scrape off as much of the goop as you can (bananas will burn when fried). Drop in an oiled pan and fry until browned, but not burned. Pour on syrup and enjoy!!!
Oh, and make sure to wash the pan soon after, for the caramelized banana will really stick.
Now, if only I can find an adequate alternative to fried egg on toast...
