Dumb luck strikes again. I was making the base for our banana bread vegan doughnut when I looked into the pot and made the connection. I tasted the liquid, a combination of cooked bananas, vanilla, sugar, and salt. It was aromatic, sweet, rich, and savory. I still needed to continue to make the doughnuts, so I did not keep the syrup on its own. But the spark fueled the fire. We have made mad milk simple syrup before. We featured it in Gluten Free Flour Power. Now it has me exploring fruit, vegetable, herb, and specific beverage simple syrups. Their uses will range from dousing cakes, to making glazes, to the base of ice creams and flavoring drinks.
