Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C), grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan, and dust it with flour.
  2. Mash 2-3 overripe bananas until smooth and mix in the granulated and brown sugar, melted butter, brewed coffee, eggs, and vanilla extract until creamy.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together baking soda, salt, and all-purpose flour. Create a well in the center.
  4. Pour the dry ingredients into the wet banana mixture. Fold gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  6. Bake for 50-60 minutes until a toothpick inserted comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  7. Allow to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  8. Beat softened butter until creamy, then gradually add powdered sugar, brewed espresso, salt, and vanilla to make frosting.
  9. Once cooled, spread frosting over the banana bread, allowing it to drape down the sides.
