Sweet Brunch Dumplings

Joy the Baker's 'Gluten-Free Banana Breakfast' Reworks Savory Dishes

— September 8, 2012 — Lifestyle
Joy the Baker's 'Gluten-Free Banana Breakfast' updates a savory Asian dish. While dumplings most often signify savory concoctions with pork, beef or shrimp additives, she has reclaimed the dish here with her unusual use of saccharine flavors.

Joy describes the dumplings as an excessively plump pancake in her post. Her gooey combination incorporates bananas, cinnamon and gluten-free flour ingredients, staples that one may expect of any crepe-themed treat. Her final use of a vanilla, bourbon, butter and maple-infused drizzle sweetened up the flapjacks to the umpteenth degree however, allowing Joy to turn the typical soy or salt-laden dumpling snack on its head.

This scrumptious concept can be applied to a variety of mealtime options, as seen in the popular merger of ice cream with kettle corn or chocolate with pork bits.

1. Sweet Dumpling Fusion - The use of sweet and savory flavors in traditional dishes presents an opportunity for creating unique and unexpected taste experiences.

2. Restaurant and Hospitality - Restaurants and hospitality businesses can attract customers by offering reimagined comfort foods that surprise and delight their taste buds.
3. Dessert and Snack Foods - In the dessert and snack foods industry, there is an opportunity to explore creative dessert mashups that satisfy consumers' cravings for unique treats.
