Hawaij spiced rye banana bread

Bread

So, a while ago, Molly Yeh - from the blog of the same name - introduced me to this awesome spice blend called Hawaij in one of her posts. It's essencially a mix of ground ginger, cardamom, cloves, cinnamon and nutmeg, which is supposed to go great with coffee. And surprise, surprise, it does. Anyway, I filled a little container with this mix and decided to use it for this recipe. It doesn’t give a particularly strong taste to the bread, it just gives that little note of spice in your mouth, like an aromatic aftertaste, which I really like. You could, by all means, add a little more or a little less, depending on your liking, but I do insist you to try it with coffee first, so you can have a little preview of its taste. Also, if you want to replace the rye flour, by all means, go ahead and do it! I just happen to like the taste.
