Description
No way!! You mean I really get to eat all of my favorite foods combined into one breakfast (except for Thanksgiving stuffing- let’s not be gross)??
Nutella . . . check
Bananas . . . check
Croissants . . . check
If you make this, please don’t tell your family that you got the recipe from a dietitian– it will completely discredit my profession.
Make note: this is a 20% recipe (should be eaten only on occasion).
Ingredients
- ¼ cups Light Cream Cheese
- ½ cups Nutella Spread
- 4 whole Medium Croissants, Halved
- 2 whole Medium Bananas, Sliced Into 1/4 Inch Slices
- 2 whole Eggs
- ¼ cups Skim Milk
- 1 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract
- 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
- 2 Tablespoons Confectioners Sugar (optional)
Preparation
In a small bowl, whip cream cheese and Nutella with an electric mixer. Spread 3 Tablespoons of the mixture onto each croissant (1 1/2 Tablespoon on each half). Add banana slices on top of Nutella spread and place croissant halves back together.
In a medium dish, mix eggs, milk, vanilla, and cinnamon. Dip each side of the croissants into egg mixture and then place croissant into a non-stick skillet on medium heat. Flip croissant after around 2-3 minutes or until cooked side is golden brown. When second side is golden brown, remove from heat, place on a plate and sprinkle with confectioner’s sugar (if desired) and serve warm!
