Caramel Topping Banana Bread Recipe
Ingredients:
* 3 large ripe bananas, mashed
* 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
* 1 tsp baking soda
* 1 tsp salt
* 1 cup granulated sugar
* 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
* 2 large eggs
* 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
* 1 tsp vanilla extract
* 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
* Caramel Topping (recipe below)
Caramel Topping:
* 1/2 cup granulated sugar
* 1/4 cup light corn syrup
* 1/4 cup heavy cream
* 1 tsp unsalted butter
* 1 tsp sea salt
* 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan and set aside.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
3. In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together sugar and butter until light and fluffy.
4. Beat in eggs one at a time, followed by mashed bananas, yogurt, and vanilla extract.
5. Gradually add the flour mixture and mix until just combined. Fold in chopped walnuts, if using.
6. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
7. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Remove from oven and let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. To make the caramel topping, combine sugar, corn syrup, and 2 tablespoons of water in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves.
10. Increase heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a boil. Cook for 5-7 minutes or until the caramel turns a deep amber color.
11. Remove from heat and slowly whisk in heavy cream, butter, and vanilla extract. Be careful, as the mixture will bubble and steam vigorously.
12. Drizzle the caramel topping over the cooled banana bread and serve.
