Hello from TINA KASHIAN! One of my favorite meals as a kid was breakfast for dinner. Who didn’t love this? My two daughters think I’m a fabulous mom when I make the most simple recipes and breakfast for dinner is one of them. As they’ve grown, I’m including them more and more in the kitchen. My youngest found this recipe on Pinterest. French toast in a mug. I was doubtful at first but was surprised to discover that not only is it easy to make, but it tastes great. Add some maple syrup and a side of eggs and you have breakfast for dinner.
Ingredients:
½ tablespoon butter
½ ripe banana, mashed
3 tablespoons milk
1 egg
½ teaspoon vanilla
½ teaspoon cinnamon
Pinch of salt
1 thick slice of day-old bread (white or wheat), torn
into 1-inch pieces.
Optional toppings: maple syrup, powdered sugar
Directions:
Grease a microwave safe 12-ounce mug using butter. In a mixing bowl, add mashed banana, milk, egg, vanilla, cinnamon, and pinch of salt. Stir to combine.
Add bread pieces to the mug to fill all the way to the top. Pour liquid mixture over the bread and mix with a spoon until all pieces are coated. Microwave on high for 60-90 seconds, or until the mixture is solid and egg is no longer runny. Let sit for 60 seconds before serving. If you’d like, top with maple syrup or powdered sugar. Enjoy!
