Breakfast Banana Bruschetta

This recipe is great and very quick to fix.

6 – 1/2 to 3/4-inch thick slices sweet Hawaiian bread, or any French bread
1 medium banana, mashed
1/2 cup softened cream cheese
1 1/2 teaspoons unsweetened cocoa powder
3 medium bananas, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon butter, melted
1/4 c. brown sugar
Sifted powdered sugar

Toast bread and let cool. Combine mashed banana, cream cheese, and cocoa powder in a medium bowl. Spread some of the mixture over each toasted bread slice.

Place slices on a cookie sheet. Layer banana slices on top of cream cheese mixture. Brush bananas with melted butter or margarine. Sprinkle with brown sugar.

Broil bruschetta 4 to 5-inches from the heat for 30 to 60 seconds or until banana slices just begin to glaze. Sprinkle tops with sifted powdered sugar and serve with warm maple syrup.
