———————————————

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

1/2 cup whole milk

1/2 cup all purpose flour

1 tablespoon brown sugar

pinch salt

1 tablespoon bourbon

1 banana, preferably overripe

1/4 cup white chocolate, chopped

make it

1. Preheat your oven to broil.

2. sprinkle your pieces of bananas with enough sugar to coat. Place on a tray and broil until caramelized. (It helps to move the rack in your oven closer to the broiler. You can also use a torch if you have one!). Set aside and cool.

3. Toss the walnuts in maple syrup and caramelize in a saute pan over medium high heat. The walnuts should be slightly browned. Set aside.

4. Set your oven temperature to 400 degrees. Coat your 8” cast iron pan or oven proof skillet with butter and place in the oven to preheat.

5. Make the batter: melt the butter over medium heat and set aside to cool. In the meantime, add the remaining ingredients to a blender.

6. Blend the eggs, milk, flour, sugar, salt, bourbon, banana, and chocolate until the mixture is smooth and frothy (there will be tiny bits of chocolate and that’s ok!).

7. Slowly stream in the butter and blend until combined.

8. Pour the batter into the preheated pan and bake until lightly golden and fluffy about 20 minutes.

9. Serve with the caramelized bananas, walnuts, and more maple syrup and butter!
