Banana is one of the best known and most loved fruits. They are healthy, nutritious and above all tasty. But did you know that you can also use them perfectly in the kitchen in different types of dishes? Due to the sweet taste, bananas are especially suitable for breakfast and dessert. But you can use banana perfectly in a main dish. And did you know that you can also use the peel? Discover it in this overview 10x surprising.banana!
What is normal Today for us was not always common. Did you know that bananas were hardly available in the former GDR (Eastern Germany)? They are still presented as a textbook example of the differences between the former East and West Germany. And did you know that my father got a banana from an American soldier at the end of the Second World War? He didn’t know what it was or what to do with it!
But of course you are here to read about surprising recipes with banana. So here we go with some breakfast ideas.
Breakfast.banana
Of course, you can just have a banana for breakfast. I also do that sometimes. But you can hardly call that surprising. But if you have time you can use banana for these four great breakfast ideas.
Banana omelette for breakfast
One banana, two eggs and 10 minutes of time. That is all you need for this banana omelette. The starch in the banana makes the omelet very firm, and it even has the consistency of a pancake. You can therefore also see it as a gluten-free alternative pancake.
Banana split breakfast
Everyone knows banana split as a dessert. And the experienced Dutch speaking people among us will know it as a television program with a candid camera. But you can also start the day very healthy with a banana split for breakfast.
