The article shares a unique recipe for homemade banana bread syrup, which complements coffee beverages with its rich and nutty flavor. Utilizing dark brown sugar and maple syrup alongside ripe bananas, cinnamon, and walnuts, this syrup stands out from typical recipes. The author emphasizes how the combination of sweeteners and nuts creates a depth of flavor reminiscent of freshly baked banana bread. The preparation process is simple, requiring gentle heating to dissolve the ingredients and develop a comforting aroma, perfect for enhancing coffee drinks at home.
I've seen people online making their own banana bread lattes with homemade syrups that use cinnamon, vanilla, and even pumpkin pie spice to try to capture that coffee-cake, confectionery taste of banana bread, but none have come close.
After that, a mashed ripe banana (half of one is fine too), a cinnamon stick or a teaspoon of cinnamon, and a half cup of chopped walnuts.
The walnuts add a new dimension to the syrup that rounds out the banana's sweetness. You can also sub in pecans or hazelnuts-anything you'd normally find in a banana bread.
I keep it on that heat for about 10-15 minutes until all the sweetener has dissolved, though you'll want to keep it on the heat for as long as possible because it starts to smell like banana bread is in the oven!
