Ingredients

• 2 large ripe bananas
• 1 tbsp maple syrup, plus extra to serve
• 2 eggs
• 50ml milk
• 50ml double cream
• drop of vanilla extract
• 50g caster sugar
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• pinch of nutmeg
• 1 large brioche loaf, cut into 4 x 2in slices
• 100g butter
• vanilla yogurt, to serve

Directions

1. Peel and slice the bananas, mash with the maple syrup and set aside. Place the eggs, milk, cream, vanilla, sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg in a wide, shallow bowl and whisk to combine.
2. Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. Using a sharp knife, slice open each slice of brioche from the top to form a pocket, leaving at least 1cm around the edges. Stuff the pockets with the banana mix. Soak the stuffed brioche in the egg mix for 30 secs on each side.
3. In a large non-stick pan, melt half the butter. When sizzling, place the brioche in the pan and fry for 2 mins each side until golden. You may have to do this in batches. Transfer to the oven to warm through for 5 mins. Serve drizzled with extra maple syrup and a spoonful of vanilla yogurt.
