The Perfect Rainy Day Baking Project
Few things are more comforting than the smell of banana bread baking. Adding coffee deepens the flavor and creates a bread that's sophisticated enough for adults but still kid-approved.
Why Coffee + Banana Works
Coffee enhances the natural sweetness and complexity of ripe bananas. The flavor isn't distinctly "coffee"—it's more of a rich, caramel-like depth that makes people ask, "What's your secret?"
The Riper, The Better
Those brown, spotty bananas you've been ignoring? They're perfect for this recipe. The browner the banana, the sweeter and more flavorful your bread.
