Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk
  • Loaf pan (9x5 inch)
  • Spatula
  • Saucepan
  • Wire cooling rack

Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 ripe bananas mashed
  • ¼ cup sour cream
  • For the Salted Caramel Glaze:
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • ¼ cup heavy cream
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  • In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
  • Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  • Mix in the mashed bananas and sour cream until well combined.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  • Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Prepare the Salted Caramel Glaze:
  • In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the sugar while stirring constantly until it turns a deep amber color.
  • Add the butter and stir until fully melted.
  • Slowly pour in the heavy cream while stirring, being careful as the mixture will bubble up.
  • Remove the pan from heat and stir in the sea salt.
  • Let the caramel cool slightly before drizzling it over the cooled banana bread.
  • Final Touch:
  • Drizzle the salted caramel glaze over the top of the cooled banana bread.
  • Let the glaze set for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
