    Banana bread with pecans

    Buying bananas is always a calculated effort. You don’t want too little or too much, and no matter what, I always end up with too many bananas going ripe. Every single time. I had two ripe bananas recently and I wanted to use them before it was too late. Don't you just hate to waste food? so I started thinking about what kinds of flavors would go well with the bananas. I shared a chocolate banana bread recipe and also a gluten free banana bread, so this time I was really craving something else.

    Ingredients and process

    This recipe includes banana bread with coffee, cinnamon, and pecan nuts. It’s super delicious and is something different than just traditional banana bread.

    The coffee I used is 1 cup of espresso that I made with my Nespresso machine. You can use brewed coffee as well or instant coffee with hot water.

    The pecans aren’t mixed with the cake batter or added as crumbs. Instead, I sprinkled it on top for garnish and to add more texture.

    This cake is perfect for breakfast because it includes coffee!

    As usual, whipping up this cake is very quick and easy, one bowl, mix everything and throw it in the oven. The smell of this baked loaf is so good, you’re going to want a piece the second it’s ready!

    The cake is parve (non-dairy) and can be made vegan just by switching the 2 eggs to applesauce (0.5 cup).

    FAQS

    Can I use instant coffee instead of brewed coffee or espresso?

    Yes, you can substitute instant coffee. Dissolve 1-2 teaspoons of instant coffee in ⅓ cup of hot water to replace the brewed coffee or espresso.

    Can I make this bread without nuts?

    Absolutely! If you prefer nut-free bread, simply omit the pecans. The bread will still be delicious and flavorful.

    Can I use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour?

    Yes, you can substitute whole wheat flour for all-purpose flour. However, the texture may be denser, and the flavor slightly different. You might also consider using a 50/50 blend of whole wheat and all-purpose flour for a balanced result.

    Can I add other ingredients to the batter?

    Certainly! Feel free to customize your bread by adding chocolate chips, dried fruit, or other nuts. Just be mindful not to add too many additional ingredients, as it might affect the baking time and texture.

    What if I don't have vegetable oil?

    You can substitute vegetable oil with coconut oil, or any other neutral-flavored oil you have on hand.

    Can I use overripe bananas?

    Yes, overripe bananas are perfect for this recipe as they are sweeter and easier to mash, contributing to the bread's moist and flavorful texture.

    How do I know when the bread is done baking?

    The bread is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few crumbs. The top should be golden brown, and the edges should start to pull away from the pan.

    How should I store the Banana Coffee Pecan Bread?

    Store the bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, you can refrigerate it for up to a week or freeze it for up to 3 months. Make sure to wrap it tightly in plastic wrap or foil before freezing.

    Can I make muffins instead of a loaf?

    Yes, you can use this recipe to make muffins. Simply divide the batter evenly among a greased or lined muffin tin and bake at the same temperature for about 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

    What can I serve with Banana Coffee Pecan Bread?

    This bread is delicious on its own but can be enhanced with a spread of butter, cream cheese, or a drizzle of honey. It's also wonderful served alongside a cup of coffee or tea.
