The deep espresso flavor blends with the natural sweetness of bananas, making each bite ridiculously addictive. It’s soft, slightly caramelized, and just the right amount of indulgent. Perfect for breakfast, dessert, or those moments when life feels like too much. Forget dry, boring loaves. This one’s moist, flavorful, and impossible to ignore. Brew a fresh cup, slice into this beauty, and pretend you made it just for “meal prep.” No judgment.

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients:

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
½ tsp cinnamon

Wet Ingredients:

3 ripe bananas mashed
¾ cup brown sugar
½ cup brewed espresso cooled
⅓ cup melted butter
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract

Optional Add-Ins:

½ cup chopped walnuts for a crunch
½ cup dark chocolate chips because why not?

Instructions

Preheat & Prep – Set oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a loaf pan with parchment paper or grease it like your life depends on it.
Mix Dry Ingredients – In a bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Set aside like a forgotten text message.
Mash the Bananas – In another bowl, mash bananas until they resemble a sad smoothie. Add brown sugar, espresso, butter, eggs, and vanilla. Stir well.
Combine Wet & Dry – Gently fold the dry ingredients into the banana mixture. Don’t overmix—unless you like dense, rubbery bread.
Add Extras – Toss in walnuts or chocolate chips, if you’re feeling fancy.
Bake to Perfection – Pour batter into the pan. Bake for 50 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean-ish.
Cool & Devour – Let it cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing. Try to wait. Try.
