1 cup (250 mL) mashed bananas, 2 to 3 very ripe
½ cup (125 mL) brewed coffee, at room temperature
2 cups (500 mL) all-purpose flour
2 tsp (10 mL) baking powder

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). 2 Grease a 9 x 5-inch (2 L) loaf pan. In a medium bowl, stir bananas with coffee. 3 In another medium bowl, whisk flour with baking powder, baking soda, salt and nutmeg. In a large bowl, stir butter with sugar. Stir in eggs 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in banana coffee mixture and vanilla. 4 Gradually add flour mixture and half the toffee bits, stirring until blended. Turn into prepared pan, levelling as best you can. Bake in centre of preheated oven 25 minutes. Sprinkle with remaining toffee bits and banana chips. Continue to bake until a toothpick inserted in centre comes out clean, about 20 more minutes. Let stand in pan 10 minutes before turning out onto a rack. Serve warm or at room temperature. Banana bread is also delicious toasted.
