This banana bread features a luscious caramel swirl that enhances the natural sweetness of ripe bananas. The recipe takes about 1 hour to prepare and bake, yielding a loaf that serves 8 slices.
Ingredients
- 3 ripe bananas, mashed
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- Chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the mashed bananas and melted butter. Stir in the sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until well blended.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the baking soda, salt, and flour. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture, stirring until just combined.
- Add Caramel: Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Drizzle half of the caramel sauce over the batter, then add the remaining batter on top. Swirl the remaining caramel sauce into the top layer of batter with a knife.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the banana bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and enjoy!
