Coffee Banana Bread Recipe
Description
This banana bread recipe blends mashed ripe bananas with a mix of granulated and brown sugars, all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt, along with an optional tablespoon of instant coffee powder that deepens the coffee flavor. Wet ingredients include eggs, sour cream, brewed coffee, melted butter, oil, and vanilla extract, which come together with the dry mixture just until combined to maintain a tender crumb.
The batter is poured into a greased loaf pan, then topped with a streusel made from rolled oats, brown sugar, softened butter, flour, and a pinch of salt. Baking at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about an hour to 70 minutes ensures a golden crust and cooked-through center. Cooling first in the pan then on a wire rack helps set texture.
The interplay of banana's natural sweetness and coffee undertones provides gentle complexity, while the oat streusel adds textural contrast. Omitting the instant coffee is acceptable for a softer coffee impact.
Adding instant coffee powder intensifies the coffee flavor but can be omitted if unavailable or undesired.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt sea salt
- 1 tablespoon instant coffee optional - see notes
- 1 ½ cups banana mashed ripe
- 2 large egg
- ¼ cup sour cream melted
- ¼ cup coffee
- ¼ cup butter
- ¼ cup oil
- 1 tablespoon vanilla
Streussel Topping
- ¼ cup rolled oats
- 2 tablespoons flour softened
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a 9"x5" loaf pan. Make the streusel topping in a small bowl by mixing the oats, flour, brown sugar, softened butter, and salt.
- In a medium-sized bowl, whisk the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking soda, salt, and if using the instant coffee.
- In a large bowl, whisk the mashed bananas, eggs, sour cream, coffee (not hot), melted butter, oil, and vanilla.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix just until they come together. DO NOT overmix the batter.
- Pour the batter into your loaf pan and then top with the streusel.
- Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the banana bread cool for 15 minutes in the pan and then remove it and let it cool completely on a wire rack.
Notes
- Instant coffee powder enhances the coffee flavor in the banana bread but is optional and can be left out without affecting texture.
