Ingredients
  

Salted Caramel Sauce

  • 1/2 cup 120ml heavy cream
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup 57g salted butter
  • 1 cup 220g brown sugar, packed

Banana Bread

  • 1/4 cup 60ml milk
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 cup 114g unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups 250g all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup 245g mashed bananas
  • 1/2 cup 120ml salted caramel sauce
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 3/4 cup 150g granulated sugar

Instructions
 

  • Combine the butter, brown sugar, heavy cream, and salt in a small saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring often until the sugar completely dissolves and the mixture reaches a boil.
  • Lower the heat and let the sauce simmer undisturbed for 5 minutes.
  • Take the saucepan off the heat and transfer the caramel to a heatproof jar to cool.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F and prepare a 9x5-inch loaf pan by greasing it thoroughly.
  • In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter with granulated sugar using an electric mixer until fluffy. Incorporate the eggs, then blend in the milk and vanilla extract.
  • Gradually add the flour, baking powder, and baking soda to the mixture, stirring until nearly incorporated. Gently fold in the mashed bananas and salted caramel sauce until the batter is just combined.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 55 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center emerges clean.
  • Allow the bread to cool before garnishing with an extra drizzle of caramel sauce.

Notes

Wrap the banana bread or store it in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
Refrigerate any leftover caramel sauce; reheat briefly in the microwave (15–30 seconds) to re-liquefy before serving.
