Time to Bake the Banana and coffee buns

1. Get that oven warmed up! We’re aiming for 375°F (190°C).
2. Take those bananas, get them mashed up real nice in a bowl.
3. Sprinkle in your instant coffee powder. Give it a good mix. We want every bite to hint at both banana and coffee.
4. Now, in a different bowl, let’s sift our flour and baking powder. Keep it airy.
5. The brown sugar goes in next. Make sure it’s lump-free!
6. Egg time! Whisk them up until they look a bit bubbly.
7. Gently blend in the butter, a touch of vanilla, and milk.
8. Now, stir the banana-coffee concoction into the egg party.
9. Slowly, but with purpose, pour in the flour mixture. Stir with love, not haste!
10. With your batter looking gorgeous, ladle it into bun molds or maybe a muffin tray.
11. Into the oven they go!
12. Roughly 25 minutes should do the trick, but do the toothpick test for assurance.
13. Finally, give those Banana and coffee buns a rest. 10 minutes should do.

Bits of Wisdom

1. Got nuts? Toss in a handful for an added crunch.
2. The riper the banana, the sweeter the bun.
3. A word to the wise – don’t go overboard while mixing; we want soft, fluffy buns.
4. If you’re all about that coffee life, add a tad more coffee powder.
5. Keep your buns fresh and fluffy by storing them in a tight-sealed container.
