If you prefer something other than an Omelette or full English breakfast,  why not try this delicious crumpets with bacon caramelised bananas? At one of the establishments I worked at we had this on the venue’s breakfast menu, but personally for me this is rather an breakfast option for the family home rather than a venue. If you do not sell enough of this particular breakfast, you will sit with wastage of the batter. For me, and hopefully others too, it is not the same using yesterday’s batter. This crumpets with bacon and caramelised bananas are the perfect Sunday breakfast for your hungry family, they will just love it! The poppy seeds in the batter add extra texture and you will win some brownie points for being creative!(wink wink!)
