If there’s one baked good that just about everyone can get on board with, it might have to be banana bread. I don’t think I’ve ever met a soul who didn’t love it. I mean, what’s not to love about a perfectly moist and flavorful slice of cake that you can get away with calling bread (and therefore eat for breakfast with minimal guilt). I’m typically partial to chocolate chip banana bread, but when I heard about this salted caramel spin I knew I had to give it a go.
Bananas and caramel are nothing short of a match made in heaven in most scenarios and this recipe is no exception. Don’t be intimidated by the sound of a homemade caramel glaze, the recipe we went with here is surprisingly easy to whip. You’ll start by bringing butter and brown sugar to a boil and cooking until the sugar has fully dissolved. From there, you’ll just need to mix in the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and salt (the crucial part of a salted caramel!). Let the glaze cool for a few minutes before pouring it over your loaf. Whether you want to remove your loaf from the pan before glazing it is up to you!
