Banana Bread Simple Syrup
Makes a little over 1 cup of simple syrup.
Will last in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 5-7 days.
Ingredients
Scale
1/2 cup water
3/4 cup maple syrup
1 banana, torn into big chunks
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp vanilla paste (or extract)
1/2 tsp walnut extract (or almond extract)
pinch of salt
Instructions
- In a blender (this has quickly become my favorite mini blender!) add the water, maple syrup, and banana pieces. Blend until smooth. (If you don’t want to use your blender, see below).
- In a saucepan over medium heat add the banana mixture along with the cinnamon, vanilla paste and walnut or almond extract and pinch of salt. Allow to simmer on the stove for 3-5 minutes until everything is incorporated. Allow to cool.
- Strain into an airtight container and refrigerate. (Straining is optional, if you use the blender, your syrup should be nice and smooth.)
Notes
*If you do not want to use a blender, add all the ingredients to a saucepan over medium heat. Use a muddler or masher to mash the bananas thoroughly. Allow to simmer on the stove for 3-5 minutes until everything is incorporated. Allow to cool. Strain into a container.
