Ingredients
Scale
- 3 ripe bananas (mashed)
- 2 large eggs
- 120g unsalted butter (melted)
- 100g brown sugar
- 50g white sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 220g all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- 150ml salted caramel sauce (plus extra for drizzling)
- ½ tsp sea salt flakes (for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Line a loaf pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it with butter.
- In a medium bowl, mash the ripe bananas until mostly smooth. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until well combined.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, and mix well. Stir in the vanilla extract and mashed bananas.
- In a separate bowl, sift the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Gently fold in the salted caramel sauce. For a marbled effect, swirl without fully mixing.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Level the top and drizzle additional caramel over the surface. Lightly swirl it with a knife if desired.
- Bake for 50–60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
- Allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Drizzle more caramel over the cooled loaf and sprinkle with sea salt flakes before serving.
Notes
Ensure bananas are very ripe for maximum flavor.
Do not overmix the batter to maintain a tender texture.
Caramel can be homemade or store-bought.
Banana bread can be frozen in slices for convenient snacking later.
