Ever since I discovered how simple it’s to make my very own espresso syrups at residence, I’ve been unstoppable. And I feel I’ve simply developed my favourite recipe but. I already knew the flavors of banana and occasional are completely complementary. I’ve made all of it: banana milk from scratch, plain banana syrup, and even banana espresso milkshakes, however banana bread syrup has modified the sport. I’ve seen folks on-line making their very own banana bread lattes with do-it-yourself syrups that use cinnamon, vanilla, and even pumpkin pie spice to attempt to seize that coffee-cake, confectionery style of banana bread, however none have come shut. My model of this pattern takes the flavour to the subsequent stage by including that nutty, savory facet {that a} candy syrup so desperately wants. Right here’s how I made it!

Often, the ratio to a easy syrup is, for lack of a greater phrase, easy. However this recipe mixes it up a bit by utilizing two totally different sorts of sweetener and a particular ingredient. First, I added 1 and a half cups of water to a pot on medium low warmth. Then I add a half cup of darkish brown sugar and a half cup of maple syrup. These totally different sweeteners give the syrup a depth of taste totally different from a syrup that makes use of plain white sugar. After that, a mashed ripe banana (half of 1 is ok too), a cinnamon stick or a teaspoon of cinnamon, and a half cup of chopped walnuts. The walnuts add a brand new dimension to the syrup that rounds out the banana’s sweetness. You can even sub in pecans or hazelnuts—something you’d usually discover in a banana bread. Chopping them is vital as it can launch extra taste into the syrup. Stir that combination and ensure it doesn’t come to a boil. I preserve it on that warmth for about 10-Quarter-hour till all of the sweetener has dissolved, although you’ll need to preserve it on the warmth for so long as attainable as a result of it begins to scent like banana bread is within the oven!

Then, I let it cool for a couple of minutes earlier than including a teaspoon of vanilla extract and a pinch of sea salt. As a result of all of the totally different components on this banana bread are thick, I choose to double pressure the syrup. Switch it to a jar for storage and luxuriate in! This decadent syrup might be saved in your fridge for as much as per week or so. I add a tablespoon or two in my espresso when making lattes, each cold and hot, and even drizzle it over my greek yogurt breakfast bowls.
