Chai-spiced banana bread with spiced butter is a delightful twist on the classic banana bread recipe. Incorporating warm chai spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom, and ginger, this banana bread promises a cozy and aromatic flavor experience. Perfect for breakfast, dessert, or a comforting snack, this recipe is sure to impress.
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan with butter or non-stick spray and set it aside.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the self-raising flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ground nutmeg, cardamom, ground ginger, and sugar until fully combined.
In a separate large bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, eggs, vanilla extract, mashed banana, honey, and melted butter until smooth.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Stir until just combined; be careful not to overmix, as this can make the bread dense.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the banana bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
While the bread is cooling, prepare the spiced butter. In a small bowl, mix the softened butter with cinnamon, ground nutmeg, cardamom, and honey until fully combined. Transfer the spiced butter to a small serving dish.
Slice the cooled chai-spiced banana bread and serve with a generous spread of spiced butter. Enjoy your flavorful and aromatic treat with a cup of chai tea or coffee!
Tips:
- Ensure all your ingredients are at room temperature, especially the butter, eggs, and yogurt. This helps in better mixing and results in a smoother batter.
- Mash the banana thoroughly to avoid any lumps in the bread.
- Use ripe bananas for a sweeter and more flavorful banana bread.
- For an extra burst of flavor, try adding a handful of chopped nuts or chocolate chips to the batter.
- Line your loaf pan with parchment paper for easy removal and clean-up.
- Let the banana bread cool completely before slicing to ensure clean cuts and better texture.
Chai-spiced banana bread with spiced butter is not only a delicious treat but also a wonderful way to elevate your baking repertoire with aromatic spices. By following these tips and steps, you'll create a moist, flavorful banana bread that pairs perfectly with the rich and creamy spiced butter. Enjoy it fresh out of the oven or toasted for a comforting experience.
