My version of Bananas Foster, Peanut Butter Bread Bananas Foster, is a decadent rum-lace caramel sauce over peanut butter bread. It’s made with sliced bananas, brown sugar, butter, and peanut butter bread and tastes absolutely amazing!
This famous New Orleans dessert is the epitome of decadence!
WHAT IS BANANAS FOSTER?
Bananas Foster is a dessert made from bananas and vanilla ice cream, with a sauce made from butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, dark rum, and banana liqueur. The butter, sugar, and bananas are cooked, and then alcohol is added and ignited. The bananas and sauce are then served over the ice cream.
Owen Brennan, owner of Brennan’s Restaurant, challenged chef Paul Blangé in 1951 to create a dessert with bananas. Chef Paul named the dessert after Richard Foster who was a regular at the restaurant.
PEANUT BUTTER BREAD BANANAS FOSTER
I took the classic Bananas Foster Dessert and added pecans and spooned the sauce over toasted peanut butter bread. Of course, you can add vanilla ice cream if you want. And Wow!! Just wow!!
