    Italian Breakfast Banana Bread

    This recipe is from nigella lawson's cookbook nigellissima. I am a great fan of nigella and i own each and every cookbook of her. Unfortunately it has not captured me in the way some of her previous cookbooks have, my all time favourite cookbooks of her is nigella christmas and nigella kitchen. But still i loving some recipes in this and i planning to try it as well. Will share the outcome here soon.

    About this Recipe

    I liked this muffin because, it turned out to be so soft and moist. I liked the slight hint of coffee in this. As mentioned in the book, this is great to have for breakfast with a cup of coffee or tea. The actual recipe in this book calls for a loaf pan to make this, but i spooned the batter into muffin cases and baked it as muffins.

      Hi Aarthi, your recipes are amazing I love trying them out. A little doubt regarding this one, should I mix the coffee powder with some water ? Coz it looks like that in the picture.

      HI, I love this and make it every two or three weeks. I buy too many bananas purposely knowing they won't all be eaten before making the next one. The previoua post suggests cutting out the coffee but this for me is what transforms this cake from an ordinary banana cake to a rich deep cake, that is eternally moor-ish... Nigellas suggestion of mascarpone with cinnamon is a divine addition and takes it to another level! I'm in the UK and not sure about cups, but Nigellas original recipe has 4 tsp of coffee, but your recipe might be proportionate, I wouldn't use less when making her original in grams. Happy baking!
