Banana Egg Rolls With Cowboy Coffee Sauce

When cooking with Noah, usually we have between an hour or two per session. I keep him busy cooking up all kinds of things. I like to keep him busy while other dishes are cooking too. One of the desserts we made were banana egg rolls served with ice cream and a cowboy coffee sauce on top, finished with some mixed berries. Again, Noah loved every bite.

Banana Egg Rolls with Cowboy Coffee Sauce

This is a pretty easy dessert to make, using only a few ingredients. But it tastes like something magical. It is sweet and flavorful. On the outside, it is crispy and it is soft on the inside. It is a taste sensation like no other.

Banana Egg Rolls

4 bananas peeled and cut in half

1/2 tsp vanilla

8 egg roll wrappers

1 cup bran flake or Raisin Bran cereal, crushed

1 egg

1/2 tsp ginger

1 tsp cinnamon

Preheat the oven to 400*F or 204*C.

Lightly crush the bran flakes and place in bowl. Combine the ginger and cinnamon together and mix together with the bran flakes.

Lightly beet the egg.

Roll one banana half in the egg, then roll in the bran flake and spice mixture, making sure to completely coat the banana. Place the coated banana in the egg roll wrapper and fold it in, making sure to grab the edges as you roll. Repeat until all the banana pieces are rolled. Seal the edges of the egg rolls by dipping your finger tip in a little water and rubbing it around the edges, then crimp and seal.

Place them on an ungreased cookie pan. bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Top with cowboy coffee sauce if you like, and either ice cream or yogurt, and some fresh berries.

Cowboy Coffee Sauce

This sauce gets its name from the many cowboys who used every bit of their coffee for many things while out on the range. Their leftover coffee was used for everything from their sauces and gravies to go over their meats to toppings for their pancakes and desserts.

3/4 cup strong coffee

3/4 cup brown sugar

1 TBSP brandy

1 tsp vanilla

Combine everything together in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for about 10 minutes or so, or until the sauce begins to thicken a bit. Spoon over the cooked banana egg roll and top it off with ice cream or yogurt and fresh berries. Delicious!

Enjoy! Noah did, and he highly recommends this dessert to all. 🙂

Have a great day and make everyday great. Stay safe and stay well. ‘Til next time.
