Salted Caramel Banana Bread 🍌🍯
Ingredients
Banana Bread
- 3 ripe bananas (the spottier, the better)
- ½ cup melted butter (or oil)
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 tsp cinnamon (optional but great)
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour
Salted Caramel
- ½ cup caramel sauce (store-bought is totally fine)
- ½–1 tsp flaky sea salt (to taste)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 175°C / 350°F. Grease or line a loaf pan.
- Mash bananas in a bowl until mostly smooth.
- Stir in melted butter, brown sugar, egg, and vanilla.
- Mix in baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
- Gently fold in the flour until just combined (don’t overmix).
- Pour half the batter into the loaf pan.
- Drizzle some caramel sauce over it and lightly swirl.
- Add the remaining batter, then drizzle more caramel on top.
- Sprinkle flaky sea salt over the top.
- Bake 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out mostly clean.
- Cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing.
Tips
- Want it extra fancy? Drizzle warm caramel on top after baking.
- Add chocolate chips or chopped nuts if you like.
- If the top browns too fast, loosely cover with foil.
