“Did today. Great Bobbi! And the butter spread is just as delicious, the man doesn’t like bananas, he likes that! … No more boring banana bread here,” wrote one reviewer.
Another homeowner said: “This recipe is AMAZING!!!!! 5⭐ is not enough!!”
“Many flavors between bananas, chocolate and espresso powder. And the cinnamon butter rounds it all off perfectly. Even better the next day,” said another chef.
Finally, one reviewer emphasized the deliciousness of the bread even without the accompaniment: “This has to be the most delicious banana bread I’ve ever eaten and/or baked. Even without espresso butter. Everyone devoured it the last time I made it.”

Flay’s banana bread recipe is absolutely unique
That Beat Bobby Flay Star’s banana bread recipe is calling to the the bread: unsalted butter, instant espresso powder, all-purpose flour, baking powder, kosher salt, medium-ripened bananas (Flay says their skins “should be pretty black”), granulated sugar, brown sugar, an egg, and chopped semi-sweet chocolate.
For the espresso cinnamon butteryou will need unsalted butter, powdered sugar, instant espresso powder, ground cinnamon and fine salt.
Flay notes in the Food Network video above that for the butter mixture, “you should use room temperature butter here so it’s easy to actually mix all of these ingredients together.”
The secret sauce that makes Flay’s banana bread so good
Flay’s Banana Bread is assembled similar to other banana breads. The dry ingredients flour, baking soda and salt are mixed together in a bowl. Then the wet ingredients are stirred together and combined with the dry.
The secret ingredient for of the celebrity chef Unforgettable bread is butter, cooked slowly and gently until sizzling and a deep brown color. And the flavor of the browned butter is incredible: it’s a caramelized, rich flavor that combines with the instant espresso to give the finished banana bread an intensely complex flavor.
The chopped chocolate is stirred into the batter last. Chopped semi-sweet chocolate, unlike chocolate chips, results in wonderfully uneven chunks that spread throughout the bread.
Flay adds that it’s important to wait at least 15 to 20 minutes before removing the banana bread from the loaf pan.
Flay tastes the bread and says in the video: “That’s out of sight. Tastes so good.”
