Espresso Banana Bread
These little loaves can be made into one large loaf, too! They offer the comfort of a moist banana bread with the kick of espresso!
Ingredients
- 3 medium ripened bananas
- 1/2 cup milk I use almond milk
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 3-4 tablespoons prepared espresso or super strong coffee I use Cafe Bustelo Instant Espresso Coffee Single Serve Packets mixed with hot water to dissolve.
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 1/2 cups flour
- 1 package espresso baking chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350. I love my silicone mini loaf pan for these! Lightly spray your bread pan or mini loaf pan and dust with flour.
- In a medium bowl, use a whisk or fork to smash up the bananas until they are nearly smooth.
- On low speed, add milk, egg, vanilla and sugar. Beat until light and fluffy.
- Add espresso and beat until combined.
- Back on low speed, add the soda, salt, cinnamon and flour. Mix until just combined.
- Fold baking chips into batter.
- Pour into prepared pan and bake for 18-22 minutes, or until toothpick comes out clean. For a single loaf, bake 55-70 minute.
- Let cool about 4 minutes before releasing them from the pan, then eat them up!
Notes
These freeze nicely when wrapped tightly, too!
ENJOY!
