Irresistible Banana Bread with Espresso Mascarpone Bliss: An Amazing Ultimate Recipe
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 ripe bananas, mashed
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
- Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal later.
- In a large bowl, combine the melted butter and mashed bananas. Stir until well mixed.
- Mix in the granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until thoroughly combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the baking soda, salt, flour, and cinnamon (if using).
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Place in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove the banana bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10-15 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, espresso powder, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Once the banana bread has cooled, slice it and generously spread the espresso mascarpone topping over each piece. Optionally, dust with cocoa powder for added flair!
Notes
- Store banana bread in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
- Banana bread freezes well; wrap it tightly and store for up to 3 months.
