Fried Banana Bread

I love to heat a bran muffin by cutting in half, spreading butter on both halves then putting butter side down in a fry pan.

Tried the same approach with a simple banana loaf with walnuts and topped with hot, fresh made apple sauce. Very simple, but it was pretty tasty:

-slather one side of a slice of banana loaf with butter

-put butter side down in non-stick pan over medium heat

-fry until brown but don't let it get dark

-flip and heat unbuttered side for a minute or two to ensure slice is heated through

optional: top with hot fresh apple sauce and a sprinkle of cinnamon and sugar

I have heard of people doing this w/ pound cake. But my buddy and I were grilling breakfast for a bunch of guys at Cape Hatteras NC and threw on a couple of Honey Buns on the hot grill, heated a few min. on each side. That is a good thing!!! We had grilled pork chops, bacon and sausage prior and those seasonings were fantastic on the Honey Bun. What a morning....the sun rising, lots of fishing poles out and a grill in the back of a truck cooking for 24 people!!!

Shawn, Sounds real good. Been on a Thomas' English Muffins with Saskatoon Berry Jam kick lately. Thanks for the jam Bud. That's some GOOD Eats. Bryan

Tried a second variation last night .... topped the fried banana bread with real cream vanilla ice cream and some Hershey's chocolate syrup.

Yah, I know, this is not much of a recipe ... I'll stop now.

This is also done for breakfast on Boxing Day over here, but with leftover Christmas Pudding Christmas Pudding, maybe it will catch on ... ike fish and chips Guv
