When banana bread puts on heels, grabs a double shot, and struts out the door—this coffee banana bread is that confident girl.
It’s cozy, rich, and delivers espresso in ways your ex never could—straight to the soul and sugar cravings.
You’ll taste banana’s natural sweetness, bold coffee flavor, and a caffeinated glaze that literally says, “good morning, drama.”
It’s vegan, fabulous, and doesn’t require you to soak cashews or chant over flax eggs.
Honestly, this bread’s more reliable than most men and twice as satisfying, especially with that sultry espresso drizzle situation happening on top.
