Ingredients

Scale

Banana Bread

  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Flavorings

  • 1/2 cup brewed coffee, cooled
  • 1/4 cup caramel sauce, plus extra for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Prepare the batter: In a large bowl, combine the mashed bananas, melted butter, and sugar. Mix well. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and brewed coffee to infuse the macchiato flavor.
  3. Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  4. Add caramel: Fold in 1/4 cup of caramel sauce into the batter gently to create swirls of flavor throughout the bread.
  5. Bake the bread: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake in the preheated oven for 60-70 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Cool and serve: Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Once cooled, drizzle with additional caramel sauce if desired. Slice and serve.

Notes

  • Use very ripe bananas for the best sweetness and moisture.
  • Brewed coffee should be cooled to avoid cooking the eggs when mixing.
  • Do not overmix the batter to ensure the bread stays tender.
  • You can substitute caramel sauce with homemade caramel or dulce de leche.
  • Store leftover bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
