Secret family recipe from a Mexican friend. The coffee powder is definitely the highlight of the recipe. Plantains add so much flavor to the bread after baking. If you don’t have any at home, substitute them with bananas.

Steps

1 hr 20 minutes

1

Preheat oven to 350°F.
2

Put peeled plantains or bananas in a bowl and mix by hands. (To have some chunks left in the bread later.)
3

Put the butter and sugar in a separate bowl and microwave for 1 minute to melt and mix well. Mix with the bananas.
4

Beat the eggs well on another bowl, then mix with the banana mixture.
5

Add flour, baking soda and baking powder to the mixture through a sifter for a smoother taste. Mix well with a whisk.
6

Put aluminum foil in a baking dish, then pour the mixture in. Sprinkle coffee powder on the top. Cover the dish with extra aluminum foil in case the surface gets too brown at baking. Bake for 40 minutes.
7

Remove the top aluminum foil. The center should still be a little moist. Bake for another 20 minutes.

Delicious banana bread ready to serve.
