Pro Tips for Perfect Tiramisu Banana Bread

Don’t overmix the batter – keeps it soft and tender

Adjust coffee strength to taste

Chill briefly before slicing for cleaner cuts

Ingredients

For the Banana Bread Batter

• 2 very ripe bananas

• 2 eggs

• 100 g neutral oil

• 80 ml milk

• 100 g white sugar

• 60 g brown sugar

• 250 g all-purpose flour

• 1 tsp baking soda

• 1 tsp baking powder

• 1 pinch salt

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

Optional

• ½–1 tsp finely ground coffee or instant coffee powder

Tiramisu Frosting

• 200 g mascarpone

• 50 g cream cheese

• 40–60 g powdered sugar

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• ½–1 tsp finely ground coffee

Finish

1 tbsp cocoa powder

Instructions

Preheat the Oven

Preheat oven to 175°C (top & bottom heat). Grease or line a loaf pan with parchment paper.

Mash the Bananas

In a large bowl, mash the bananas until smooth.

Mix Wet Ingredients

Add eggs, white sugar, and brown sugar. Mix until combined. Stir in oil, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Combine Dry Ingredients

In a separate bowl, mix flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Gently fold the dry mixture into the wet mixture until just combined. The batter should be soft but not runny. Do not overmix.

Bake

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake for 50–60 minutes. If the top browns too quickly, loosely cover with foil after about 40 minutes. Let the loaf cool completely before adding frosting, this is very important.

Make the frosting

Mix everything together until smooth and creamy. Do not overwhip, the frosting should stay thick and silky. Spread evenly over the completely cooled banana bread.

Finish

Dust 1 tablespoon cocoa powder over the frosting for the classic tiramisu look.
