As I’ve mentioned countless times before, I’m half Finnish. This means coffee isn’t just coffee. It should be accompanied by some combination of flour, sugar and butter, baked until crumbly. I don’t go this route with every cup I drink, mainly because this combination is not always handy, never healthy and I’m only half Finnish after all.
My husband and I, having dabbled in coffee culture most of our marriage, have recently jumped in with both feet, enjoying the expensive stuff any time of day we can swing it.
That plus my heritage puts recipes like Banana Pumpkin Muffins top of mind. I’m definitely looking forward to my next pot.
By the way, the recipe comes from Dole, which is sending out tips and recipes for bananas every day this year. If you follow the link to the recipe you can sign up for the daily e-mail and find a ton of other stuff, such as tips like polishing your leather shoes with a banana peel and eating bananas when you’re trying to quit smoking.
