Provided by Bobby Flay

Time 1h50m

Yield One 9-inch loaf

Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

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:

Use high-quality coffee beans for the espresso. Freshly roasted beans will give you the best flavor.
Grind the coffee beans finely. This will help extract the most flavor from the beans.
Tamp the coffee grounds firmly into the portafilter. This will help create a good seal and prevent the espresso from channeling.
Use the correct amount of water. Too much water will make the espresso weak and watery, while too little water will make it too strong and bitter.
Pull the espresso shot for the correct amount of time. This will vary depending on the type of espresso machine you are using, but a good starting point is 25-30 seconds.
Use unsalted butter for the cinnamon espresso butter. This will help prevent the butter from becoming too salty.
Add the cinnamon and sugar to taste. Start with a small amount and add more until you reach the desired flavor.

Conclusion:

Cinnamon espresso butter is a delicious and easy-to-make spread that can be used on toast, muffins, or even ice cream. It is also a great way to use up leftover espresso. If you are looking for a new and unique way to enjoy your espresso, give cinnamon espresso butter a try. Experiment with different flavors by adding other spices, such as nutmeg or cardamom. You can also use different types of butter, such as almond butter or cashew butter.
