How to pick the right 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 fold down the top. The bananas should ripen in just a day or two using this method.
How to Make Caramel Banana Bread.
Preheat Oven to 325°F. Grease loaf pan and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and both sugars until creamy.
Add the eggs one at a time beating well after each one.
In a small bowl, mash bananas. Add milk and ground cinnamon and mix well.
In another bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Add the banana mixture to the creamed butter mixture and stir until combined.
Fold in dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix gently until flour disappears.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Pour caramel sauce over the top of the batter and swirl with a knife.
Bake for 1 hour or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Let the loaf pan cool for 15 minutes before removing the bread. Let bread cool completely on a wire rack before cutting. You can drizzle more caramel if desired.
