Ingredients and Tools Needed:
Caramel Glazed Banana Bread
Yield: 1 loaf (10 servings)
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 60 minutes
Total Time: 80 minutes (plus cooling time)
Serving Size: 1 slice
Ingredients:
For the Banana Bread:
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3 ripe bananas, mashed
1/4 cup buttermilk
For the Caramel Glaze:
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1/4 cup unsalted butter
1/4 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
Stir in the mashed bananas until well combined. Gradually mix in the flour mixture, alternating with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the flour.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake for 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
While the banana bread is cooling, prepare the caramel glaze. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the brown sugar, butter, and heavy cream. Stir constantly until the mixture comes to a boil.
Reduce the heat to low and continue stirring for another 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Allow the glaze to cool slightly.
Once the banana bread is cool, drizzle the caramel glaze over the top. Let it set for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
