This is a delicious and rich Banana French Toast with Walnuts recipe that Paula Deen is using margarine with! Can you believe that the “Butter Queen” has defected? Okay, it’s only to keep the butter from burning but if you cook it slow enough, you’ll be just fine using butter. I hope that you enjoy.
Ingredients
6 eggs
1/4 cup milk
4 very ripe bananas
1/4 cup coarsely chopped walnuts
1/8 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
8 slices egg bread
4 tablespoons margarine (or butter)
confectioners’ sugar, for dusting
honey, maple syrup or jam, for serving
Directions
In a large shallow bowl, using a fork, beat the eggs until lightly frothy. Stir in the milk and set aside. Peel the bananas into a small bowl and mash them with a fork. Stir in the walnuts and the nutmeg.
Spread the banana mixture over the 1/2 of the bread slices, leaving a 1/4-inch border uncovered on all edges. Top with the remaining bread slices and press down gently to seal.
Place 2 sandwiches in the egg mixture and press down gently. Turn over and let soak for a moment until evenly saturated on both sides. Repeat with the other 2 remaining sandwiches.
In a frying pan or on a griddle, melt 2 tablespoons of margarine (or butter) over medium heat. Place the sandwiches on griddle and fry until the undersides are golden brown, about 2 minutes. Add the remaining margarine (or butter), flip the sandwiches with a spatula and fry until golden brown.
To serve place the toast on plates and dust with confectioners’ sugar. Serve with honey, maple syrup or jam.

Here’s an easy recipe for Banana Nut Muffins. Before you click on the video I must warn you that the author, Rockinjellyfish, is a little wierd… okay, a LOT wierd! But he makes a pretty tasty banana nut muffin. If you’re easy to offend, just bypass his video and use a cookbook.
Ingredients
2 cups flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
3 T butter
2 eggs
1 cup sour cream
2 cups bananas blended into a slurry
1-1/2 cups chopped walnuts
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
Preheat oven to 400-degrees F.
Prepare cupcake pans by greasing and flouring. Assemble ingredients beforehand.
Sift together flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
After blending all of the wet ingredients, there is no need for the electric mixer.
Use a wooden spoon to mix the rest of the ingredients together. DO NOT OVERMIX or the muffins will take on the consistency of cupcakes. Add the above ingredients to the flour mixture until moistened to the texture on the video.
Add the chopped walnuts at the end and blend.
Bake for 15 to 18 minutes. When an inserted toothpick comes out clean, remove muffins from the oven and allow to rest for 5 minutes before transferring to the cooling rack.
This is my recipe version of Southern-Style Cornbread. I must admit that I like Jiffy Mix cornbread too, especially when I’m being lazy. There’s nothing wrong with it and I’ve used it to make some pretty good muffins (with a few ingredient additions).
But when I want a great cornbread to accompany stews, chili, or beans… this is the recipe I use. This also makes an awesome cornbread stuffing.
This luscious banana bread recipe has been in our family ever since I can remember. It is moist and delicious and I can’t think of any other recipe that I’ve tried that can come close to this one.
My mom used to make these loaves and give them as gifts throughout the year. I have followed her tradition during the holiday season. Place them in a food safe cellophane bag and tie off with a pretty ribbon. Have a slice with your coffee in the morning or as a late night snack. I think you’ll agree that this recipe is bananalicious!
