Regular visitors to this site will notice I’ve added quite a few Banana Bread recipes lately. I bought a bunch of bananas and didn’t want them to go bad so what’s a guy gonna do? Make a Butterscotch Banana Bread of course!
I’m not going to lie. I think this is my favorite banana bread recipe. This recipe is so good, it was all gone only a few hours after it came out of the oven!
While this recipe can easily be confused with my Caramel Banana Bread recipe, this one has a slightly different flavor and consistency. I would suggest making both of them and decide for yourself which one is your favorite.
I have so many Banana Bead recipes to offer but I think you really need to try my Buttermilk Banana Bread. One of my personal favorites!
How To Pick Bananas
The best bananas for banana bread are when they are overripe, not yellow but black. Or they’re at least streaked with black/brown. The darker the better.
If you can’t find overripe bananas, you can speed up the process by putting the bananas in a paper bag along with an apple and loosely folding down the top. The bananas should ripen in just a day or two using this method.
