Ingredients

Banana Bread Syrup Ingredients

  • 1 cup water
  • 1 overripe banana (mashed)
  • ¾ cup brown sugar (packed)
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup maple syrup
  • 2 cinnamon sticks
  • ¼ tsp nutmeg
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: Stir together water, mashed banana, brown sugar, granulated sugar, maple syrup, cinnamon sticks, nutmeg, and salt in a medium saucepan to prepare the base of your syrup.
  2. Simmer the Mixture: Heat the saucepan over medium heat until the mixture reaches a simmer. Allow it to simmer gently for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure sugars dissolve and flavors meld.
  3. Cool the Syrup: Remove the saucepan from heat and let it cool at room temperature for 15 minutes. This step helps the flavors intensify and makes straining easier.
  4. Strain Solids: Pour the mixture through a fine mesh strainer to separate the solids from the syrup. Discard the banana solids and cinnamon sticks, reserving the smooth syrup.
  5. Add Vanilla and Store: Stir the vanilla extract into the strained syrup. Transfer the syrup to a bottle or mason jar and store it in the refrigerator. Use within 2 weeks for best quality.

Notes

  • Use an overripe banana for maximum sweetness and flavor.
  • If you prefer a thicker syrup, simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes, but be careful not to burn.
  • Syrup can be used not only in coffee but also drizzled over pancakes, waffles, or ice cream.
  • Make sure to store the syrup in a clean, airtight container to preserve freshness.
  • Refrigerate after opening and shake gently before each use as natural separation may occur.
