Ingredients

Scale

Banana Syrup Ingredients

  • 2 ripe bananas, mashed (about 2 cups)
  • 1/2 cup pure maple syrup (can substitute honey, agave, sugar, or coconut sugar)
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (or 1 tablespoon vanilla bean paste)
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a small saucepan, mix mashed bananas, maple syrup, water, cinnamon, and salt thoroughly to prepare the base of the syrup.
  2. Simmer Mixture: Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir occasionally for 5 to 7 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly, developing deeper flavors.
  3. Add Vanilla: Remove the pan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste for added aroma and richness.
  4. Strain Syrup: Allow the syrup to cool slightly before straining it through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth to achieve a smooth, pourable consistency free from banana pulp.
  5. Store Properly: Transfer the strained syrup to a clean container and refrigerate. It will keep fresh for up to 5 days, ready to enhance your coffee whenever desired.

Notes

  • You can substitute maple syrup with honey, agave, sugar, or coconut sugar according to preference.
  • Straining is important to get a smooth syrup that mixes well with coffee.
  • The syrup can be used in coffee, tea, or poured over pancakes and desserts for a banana-flavored twist.
  • Store the syrup refrigerated and use within 5 days to maintain freshness and flavor.
  • Adjust cinnamon amount to taste; more can add extra warmth and spice.
