Recipe: Banana Bread Toast With Cream Cheese Frosting

Ingredients:

For the Banana Bread:

* 3 large ripe bananas, mashed
* 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
* 1 tsp baking powder
* 1/2 tsp baking soda
* 1/2 tsp salt
* 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
* 1 cup granulated sugar
* 2 large eggs
* 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
* 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

For the Cream Cheese Frosting:

* 8 oz cream cheese, softened
* 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
* 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
* 1 tsp vanilla extract
* 2-3 Tbsp milk or heavy cream

For the Toast:

* 4 slices of banana bread (homemade or store-bought)
* 1 tsp unsalted butter, softened
* Confectioners' sugar (optional)

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan and set aside.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. In another bowl, combine mashed bananas, sugar, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth.
4. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Fold in chopped walnuts, if using.
5. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
6. Bake for 55-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
7. For the frosting, beat the cream cheese and butter until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar, beating until fully incorporated.
8. Add the vanilla extract and milk or heavy cream, beating until the frosting reaches your desired consistency. You may not need all of the milk, so add it gradually.
9. Split the cooled banana bread into 4 slices. Spread a layer of frosting on each slice.
10. Place the slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and dot the top with softened butter.
11. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for 5-7 minutes or until the butter is melted and the bread is toasted.
12. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with confectioners' sugar, if desired.

Cook Time: 55-60 minutes
Prep Time: 25 minutes
Total Time: 1 hour 20 minutes

Variations:

* Add chocolate chips to the banana bread batter for a chocolate-banana twist.
* Use different types of nuts, such as pecans or hazelnuts, for added crunch.
* Substitute honey or maple syrup for the white sugar to give the bread a richer flavor.
* Top the toast with sliced bananas, chopped nuts, or dried cranberries for extra texture and flavor.
* Make individual servings by using mini loaf pans or muffin tin liners. Adjust the cooking time accordingly.
