"The basic recipe is all well and good, but sometimes you just want to add some walnuts or chocolate chips to the mix to see what happens. You don't have to stop there, though. Although it may sound like it comes out of left field, making banana bread with Coca-Cola in the mix produces one of the tastiest versions you will ever try. Baking with soda dates back to the Great Depression, and the results speak for themselves."
"You won't need more than half to a full cup for a standard loaf. If you're making a boxed version ( like our 3-ingredient banana bread recipe), substitute Coca-Cola for the liquid in your recipe (likely to be milk or water). From there you can make it as usual with whatever spices you would normally put in. Remember that cinnamon and vanilla will work well with the flavors already in cola. Extra elements like chocolate chips, walnuts, and pecans also blend in nicely."
Banana bread can be made using Coca-Cola for part or all of the liquid, with about half to one cup recommended for a standard loaf. Substitute cola for milk or water in boxed or homemade recipes and pair with cinnamon, vanilla, dark brown sugar, chocolate chips, walnuts, or pecans. Coca-Cola keeps the bread moist, adds subtle sweetness and a unique flavor note. Cola's acidity activates leavening agents faster, which can produce flatter, denser loaves; adjust baking powder and baking soda amounts or try double-acting baking powder to preserve rise. Monitor leavening to achieve desired texture.
