Ingredients
Scale
- 3 ripe bananas, mashed
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
- Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter and brown sugar, stirring until well blended.
- Step 3: Add the mashed bananas to the mixture, followed by the eggs and alcohol-free vanilla extract. Mix until everything is combined smoothly.
- Step 4: In a separate bowl, whisk together the baking soda, salt, and flour. Gradually incorporate this dry mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing just until no flour streaks remain.
- Step 5: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake in the preheated oven for about 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Step 6: Let the banana bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy your delicious butterscotch banana bread!
Notes
- To keep your butterscotch banana bread fresh, store it in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days, or in the refrigerator for a week.
- When reheating, slice the banana bread and warm it in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds for a soft, cozy treat, or toast it lightly for added crunch.
- For an indulgent serving suggestion, enjoy your banana bread with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.
- A chef's tip: ensure your bananas are very ripe for maximum sweetness and flavor; the more brown spots they have, the better they'll make your bread taste!
