Espresso-Chocolate Chip Banana Bread with Espresso-Cinnamon Butter image

Provided by Bobby Flay

Time 1h50m

Yield One 9-inch loaf

Number Of Ingredients 15

5 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus extra at room temperature for greasing the pan
1 tablespoon instant espresso powder
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
4 medium-ripe bananas (the peel should be pretty black), peeled and halved
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons lightly-packed light brown sugar
1 large egg, beaten
3 ounces semisweet chocolate, finely chopped
1 1/2 sticks (12 tablespoons) unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon instant espresso powder
Pinch of ground cinnamon
Pinch of fine salt

Steps:

  • Make the banana bread: Adjust an oven rack to the lowest position and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9-inch loaf pan with the softened butter. Place the 5 tablespoons butter in a small saucepan set over medium heat and cook until the butter turns a deep golden brown color, about 2 minutes; stir in the espresso powder. Remove and let cool slightly.
  • Whisk the flour, baking soda and kosher salt together in a medium bowl.
  • Using a potato masher, mash the bananas in a medium bowl until pretty smooth. Add the sugars, cooled brown butter and egg and whisk until combined. Add the flour mixture and whisk until just combined, don't over-mix. Fold in the chopped chocolate.
  • Scrape the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake on the lowest oven rack until a toothpick inserted into the center of the banana bread comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached, 40 to 50 minutes. Let the banana bread cool on a baking rack in the pan for 15 minutes. Use a knife to separate the edges of the banana bread from the pan, then invert it and cool the loaf directly on the rack for at least 30 minutes before slicing.
  • Make the espresso-cinnamon butter: Stir the butter, sugar, espresso, cinnamon and salt together in a small bowl until smooth. Serve with the banana bread.

Tips for Making Perfect Banana Espresso Chocolate Chip Muffins:

- Use very ripe bananas for an intense banana flavor and moist texture. - If you don't have espresso powder, you can substitute 1 tablespoon of strongly brewed coffee. - Be sure to mix the dry ingredients well before adding them to the wet ingredients. Over-mixing can result in tough muffins. - Fill the muffin cups only 2/3 full to allow the muffins to rise properly. - Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Over-baking will result in dry muffins. - Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. - Store leftover muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the freezer for up to 2 months.

Conclusion:

These banana espresso chocolate chip muffins are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. They are full of flavor and have a moist and fluffy texture.
