Banana Buns Ingredients


Before we embark on this delicious journey, let’s ensure you’re fully prepared. Here’s what you’ll need:


  • 3 large over-ripe bananas

  • 1/2 tsp baking powder

  • 1/2 tsp baking soda

  • 2 eggs

  • 2 tbsp honey

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 tsp molasses

  • 1/4 cup mixed nuts (like walnuts or pecans)

  • 1/2 tsp salt

  • A sprinkle of cinnamon

  • A dash of nutmeg

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • 1 sachet of 3-in-1 Mountain Peak instant coffee

  • 1/4 cup cane sugar

  • 2 tbsp coconut oil


Choose bananas that are heavily speckled with brown spots; these will give your buns a richer flavor.


Step 1: Preparing the Bananas


First, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). While it warms up, extract maximum flavor from your bananas. Peel the three over-ripe bananas and place them in a large mixing bowl. Mash them thoroughly with a fork or potato masher until they form a creamy consistency. This step enhances the sweetness and moisture of the buns, making them delightfully soft!


Step 2: Mixing the Wet Ingredients


Next, add the two eggs to the mashed bananas. Mix until fully blended and no egg white is visible. Drizzle in the honey and molasses, followed by coconut oil. The addition of these wet ingredients helps create a luscious texture. Finally, pour in the vanilla extract to deepen the flavor.


Step 3: Combining the Dry Ingredients


In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cane sugar. The cinnamon and nutmeg will not only add warmth but also create a cozy aroma while baking. To surprise your taste buds, mix in the sachet of 3-in-1 Mountain Peak instant coffee. This will add a subtle depth that beautifully complements the banana's sweetness.

Step 4: Bringing It All Together


Now it's time to unite our ingredients. Gradually fold the dry mixture into the wet mixture using a spatula. Mix gently until just combined; a few lumps are perfectly acceptable and will make your buns tender. Finally, fold in the mixed nuts for a satisfying crunch that adds texture to each bite!


Step 5: Baking the Buns


Transfer your batter to a greased baking tray or muffin tin. Use an ice cream scoop or a spoon to portion the mixture evenly, ensuring there is space between each to allow for rising. Bake in your preheated oven for 25 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Keep an eye on them, as they will become golden and irresistible!


Step 6: The Waiting Game


While the buns are baking, enjoy the delightful aromas filling your kitchen. The smell of coffee and bananas will surely have everyone eager to taste! Once they turn a lovely golden brown, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.


Step 7: Time to Enjoy!


Serve your Coffee Banana Buns warm, perhaps drizzled with a bit of extra honey for a sweet indulgence. These buns are perfect for breakfast, an afternoon snack, or a light dessert. Enhance their flavor even further by topping them with a dollop of yogurt!
