Main Ingredients- 4 medium-sized sweet potatoes (approx. 200-250g each)
- 6 slices of bread
- 3 ripe bananas
- 1 handful of walnuts (approx. 50g)
Seasoning and Others- 1/2 cup milk (100ml)
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise (30g)
- 1/2 tbsp sugar (5g)
- 1 tbsp cinnamon powder (5g)
- 1/2 cup milk (100ml)
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise (30g)
- 1/2 tbsp sugar (5g)
- 1 tbsp cinnamon powder (5g)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the sweet potatoes. If you have pre-baked sweet potatoes, this step will be quicker. If using raw sweet potatoes, wash them thoroughly, place them in a steamer, and cook for about 20-30 minutes until tender. Once cooked, let them cool slightly, then peel and mash them using a fork or a potato masher until smooth. Add 1/2 cup (100ml) of milk to the mashed sweet potato and mix well until it forms a smooth consistency. You can adjust the amount of milk depending on the moisture content of your sweet potatoes.
Step 2
Using the prepared sweet potato mixture, shape it to place on top of the bread slices. Take a portion of the sweet potato mixture in your hand and form it into an elongated shape. Carefully place this around the edges of each bread slice, creating a border or a ‘dam’ made of sweet potato. This helps to hold the filling inside when baking, ensuring a neat presentation.
Step 3
Now, let’s make the sweet and flavorful filling! Peel the 3 ripe bananas and chop them into small pieces. Finely chop the walnuts as well. In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped bananas and walnuts. Add 2 tbsp (30g) of mayonnaise, 1/2 tbsp (5g) of sugar, and 1 tbsp (5g) of cinnamon powder. Mix everything together thoroughly until well combined. The cinnamon will add a wonderful aromatic warmth that complements the sweetness of the bananas and sweet potatoes.
Step 4
It’s time to assemble and bake! Generously fill the space inside the sweet potato border on each bread slice with the prepared banana and walnut mixture. Make sure to fill it well for a satisfying bite. Place the assembled toasts into a preheated oven at 200°C (400°F) and bake for about 20 minutes. Bake until the bread is golden brown and the sweet potato and banana filling is warm and bubbly. Baking times may vary slightly depending on your oven, so keep an eye on the color.
