Ingredients

Scale

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

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Pour Batter into Pan: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
