MAKE IT BETTER WITH COFFEE

CAPPUCCINO PANCAKES

Spruce up the traditional pancake recipe with a good amount of coffee powder to give them a smooth coffee flavour. Top with cream and chocolate sauce to finish off the perfect cappuccino pancake.

COFFEE BACON SANDWICHES

It sounds ridiculous but the two morning-staples merged together makes for a treat. Try sprinkling a coffee and chilli mixture over the top of some bacon, marinate it in the fridge and then bake it in the over. The marinated coffee flavour comes through gently adding a gentle unique twist.

COFFEE BANANA BREAD

Banana bread has been around since the 1930s and coffee cake has been around even longer, with records dating it back until 1879 in Germany. Try adding a half cup of brewed strong coffee with the bananas in any banana bread recipe and you’ll end up with a smashing coffee banana bread.

WALNUT COFFEE SMOOTHIES

A lot of smoothies contain bananas but mixing it with coffee and walnuts can make the banana standout even more. Add a cup of cold brew coffee with banana, cocoa powder, walnuts, maple syrup and a scoop of ice cream for a super simple yet delightful banana, coffee smoothie.

ESPRESSO BROWNIES

Brownies are a universal crowd-pleaser, and adding a tablespoon of instant coffee makes it all the better. Consider throwing some ground walnuts and almonds in with coffee in any tried-and-tested brownie recipe to make a coffee flavoured treat for all to enjoy.

COFFEE-RUBBED CHEESEBURGERS

Ignore your first instincts and consider giving this one a try. Simply adding coffee, brown sugar and spices of your choice to one side of the burger patties and you’ll end up with a surprisingly smoky and unique flavour. Make sure to use plenty of cheese and mayo, as the fattier the ingredients the nicer the coffee flavour will taste in the meat.
