Banana Bread Batter
- 3 ripe bananas, mashed
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brewed strong coffee
- 1/4 cup caramel sauce, plus extra for drizzling
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas. Add the melted butter, sugar, egg, brewed coffee, caramel sauce, and vanilla extract, mixing thoroughly to combine all the wet ingredients evenly.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients, folding gently until just combined. Do not overmix to avoid a dense bread.
- Pour Batter into Pan: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 60 to 70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few crumbs attached.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Drizzle additional caramel sauce on top before slicing for an extra indulgent finish.
Notes
- Use very ripe bananas for the best natural sweetness and flavor.
- Brew the coffee stronger than usual to ensure the coffee flavor stands out in the bread.
- You can substitute caramel sauce with homemade caramel or dulce de leche if preferred.
- Store banana bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
- Freeze sliced banana bread to enjoy later; thaw slices before serving.
