Ingredients

For the Batter

2 cups All-purpose flour this forms the base, giving your bread a soft texture.
2 large eggs they add moisture and help bind the ingredients together.
3 large bananas the key to sweetness and that delightful banana flavor.
1 cup granulated sugar enhances the sweetness; you can substitute with brown sugar for a caramel flavor.
1/2 cup neutral oil ensures a moist crumb; feel free to swap with melted butter for richer taste.
1 cup chopped walnuts add crunch and a nutty flavor, but you can omit if you prefer a nut-free bread.
1/2 cup sour cream contributes to the moistness; Greek yogurt can work as a substitute.
2 tbsp instant coffee granules the secret ingredient that brings a robust coffee flavor to your banana bread.
1/4 cup hot water helps dissolve the coffee granules, ensuring an even flavor throughout.
1 tsp baking soda provides the lift needed for a light and airy bread.
1 tsp vanilla extract adds a lovely aromatic sweetness; opt for pure for the best flavor.
1/2 tsp salt enhances the other flavors, balancing sweetness beautifully.

For the Glaze

1 cup powdered sugar creates the sweet, creamy consistency for your glaze.
1 tbsp instant coffee deepens the coffee flavor in the glaze; you can skip it for a plain glaze.
2-4 tbsp hot water adjusts the glaze to your desired drizzling consistency.
