You know by now that I love using up soft bananas in baking. We had 2 large soft bananas in the fruit bowl & I immediately thought of a date & banana bread for the weekend.
However, the dates are a little under whelming & I have infused them with tea the last few times but today I thought coffee would be good, Kahlua coffee liqueur to be exact.
I cut up about 120g of dates, poured over about 30ml of Kahlua & left it to steep while I made up the banana bread as per this recipe I always use. I doubled up everything to make 2 loaves - one for eating, one for the freezer.
The dates had plumped up a bit & I added them & the tiny bit of liquid in last with a bit of desiccated coconut, mixed briefly & divided the mixture between two lined baking tins.
It baked for about 55 min at 175c until a sharp knife came out clean.
Cooled then cut to go with coffee. It was a subtle taste, just a hint of the liqueur but an interesting taste. The second loaf was sliced before being frozen for those days when you want a slice of something & it can be warmed in a microwave for a few seconds then enjoyed.
Is it a variation you might try? Thank you for stopping by,
