Dry Ingredients

• 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon fine salt
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon, plus 1 teaspoon for topping
• 2 teaspoons freshly ground coffee

Wet Mix:

• 3 mashed ripe bananas + 1 whole ripe banana for topping
• 3/4 cup browned butter
• ½ cup dark brown sugar, plus 2 tablespoons for topping
• 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 large eggs at room temperature
• 1/3 cup (75 grams) yoghurt or sour cream
• ½ cup or 125ml freshly brewed coffee with your Moccamaster
• ½ cup pecans (or any nuts)
• ½ cup chocolate chips (or chocolate cut up)
• ½ teaspoon flaky sea salt for topping

Bake the magic:

1. Prepare the Ingredients: Start by preheating your oven to 180°C and brewing a pot of rich filter coffee. Meanwhile, combine the dry ingredients in one bowl and the wet ingredients in another, ensuring a thorough mix of flavours and textures.
2. Mix with Care: Gently pour the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, allowing them to intermingle and create a harmonious blend of flavours. Then, fold in the chocolate chips and pecans, adding a delightful crunch to every bite.
3. Bake to Perfection: Transfer the batter into a loaf pan, and adorn it with slices of banana and a sprinkle of cinnamon and brown sugar for an enticing visual appeal. Slide it into the oven and let it bake for approximately 30 minutes. Afterward, rotate the loaf and continue baking for another 30 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.
4. Elevate the Experience: For those seeking an extra touch of indulgence, whip up a luscious mascarpone cream infused with hints of lemon, vanilla, and honey. This velvety accompaniment perfectly complements the robust flavours of the coffee banana bread, elevating the culinary experience to new heights of decadence.
