I whipped up some grilled, caramelized bananas as an impromptu breakfast to go along with this pumpkin banana bread the other day and figured I could up the yum factor even more by upping the spice game. Enter a chai spice mix.
Chai spice can have lots of variations, but I went with a classic mix: cinnamon, fennel, cardamom, allspice, cloves, and ginger. Just measure out a bit of each, give it a mix, and add to the grilling bananas. Just wait until you smell the result. My house smelled delicious for hours.
