Kahlua Banana Bread Recipe
Description
This Kahlua Banana Bread Recipe makes a loaf using overripe mashed bananas combined with creamed butter and sugar, eggs, and shredded sweetened coconut for texture. The dry ingredients include flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder, mixed in carefully to create a batter that bakes into a tender crumb.
The baking process involves cooking at 350°F for up to an hour until a skewer comes out clean, ensuring moistness inside. A coffee liqueur glaze is whisked separately with powdered sugar and poured over the warm loaf after poking holes in its crust, allowing the glaze to be absorbed subtly through the bread.
This bread can be enjoyed sliced plain or spread with butter, making it suitable for breakfast, snack, or dessert. The coconut adds a light chew and sweetness, balancing the banana flavor and liqueur notes.
To speed up ripe banana availability, underripe bananas can be ripened quickly by baking them at 350°F for 5-8 minutes before mashing, which helps prepare the bread sooner without waiting for natural ripening.
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup butter softened, unsalted
- 3 banana about 1 1/2 cups smashed, very ripe
- 2 egg large
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 3/4 cup coconut shredded, sweetened
- 1 1/4 cups powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup coffee liqueur Kahlua brand
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a standard 9X5 inch loaf pan with nonstick baking spray. Set aside.
- Place the granulated sugar and softened butter in the bowl of an electric mixer. Beat on high to cream, until the mixture is light and fluffy. Then scrape the bowl and mix in the bananas and eggs. With the mixer on low, slowly add the flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder. Then scrape the bowl again and mix in the shredded coconut.
- Scoop the batter into the loaf pan. Bake for 45-60 minutes, until a wooden skewer inserted deep into the center comes out clean. Allow the banana bread loaf to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then flip it out onto a cooling rack set over a piece of wax paper.
- While the loaf is cooling in the pan, whisk the powdered sugar and Kahlua together until very smooth. Once you've flipped the loaf out of the pan, poke holes in the the top of the loaf with a wooden skewer to let the Kahlua glaze seep down inside. Then pour the glaze over the top of the loaf. You can use the wax paper to pour the drippings back over the loaf for an extra glaze coating, if you like. Allow the glaze to dry before cutting.
Notes
- To ripen bananas quickly, bake them at 350°F for 5-8 minutes until darkened and soft.
