Ingredients

4 servings

2 ripe bananas, broken into chunks
1 cup milk
2 tbsp cornstarch
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tbsp maple syrup
¼ tsp salt
8 slices thick-cut bread (about ¾-inch thick)
2 tbsp unsalted butter, divided
Ingredient note
Though high-fat foods can worsen reflux, this recipe has only a small amount of butter (~1 1/2 teaspoons per serving), making it likely fine for many with GERD. If you prefer to always avoid butter, please tap it and change its rating to Red.

For serving

maple syrup, for serving
powdered sugar, for serving (optional)
fresh banana slices, for serving (optional)

Instructions

1
Blend the banana chunks, milk, cornstarch, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, maple syrup, and salt in a blender (or whisk vigorously in a medium bowl) until completely smooth and no lumps remain. Pour into a shallow dish wide enough to fit a bread slice.
2
Let the batter rest for 5 minutes so the cornstarch fully hydrates and the mixture thickens slightly — it should coat the back of a spoon.
