Banana Bread Coffee Shop Syrup with Browned Butter

Ingredients

• 2 tbsp salted butter
• 2 very ripe bananas (Peeled)
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup brown sugar
• 1.25 cup water
• 0.5 tsp ground nutmeg
• 1.5 tsp ground cinnamon
• 2 tbsp maple syrup
• vanilla (Add to taste; the author recommends measuring it intuitively.)

Steps

1. 1

   Brown the salted butter in a saucepan until it is toasted and has a nutty aroma.

2. 2

   Add the peeled bananas and lightly mash them in the saucepan.

3. 3

   Add the granulated sugar and brown sugar. Stir until the entire mixture is moist and slightly caramelized.

4. 4

   Add the water, nutmeg, cinnamon, and maple syrup. Mix well.

5. 5

   Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 10-15 minutes, until thickened.

6. 6

   Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the mixture cool slightly.

7. 7

   Add vanilla to taste and blend the mixture until smooth.

8. 8

   Pour the syrup into a storage container. If you prefer it thinner, add more water.

9. 9

   To flavor a Ninja Creami Deluxe tub, the author states that she used approximately 200 g of this syrup instead of the sugar in the vanilla recipe. She then mentions one ice cream cycle and two re-spin cycles, but does not provide the complete vanilla base recipe.

Notes

The published recipe describes the syrup and its use in a Ninja Creami vanilla base, but does not include the quantities or method for the ice cream base. The resulting syrup is very thick; it can be diluted with more water. The author used approximately 200 g for one Deluxe tub.
