"I recently perfected my caramel crunch banana bread. :) This updated recipe (and photo!) features a fluffier loaf topped with a crunchy streusel and finished with a caramel drizzle. It’s banana bread with a bit more “pizazz” and the few extra steps are soo worth it!"

Bread Ingredients
- 2 very ripe, mashed bananas
- 1/3 cup butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
ingredients
Topping Ingredients
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 5 tablespoons butter, cold and cut into cubes
- 1/3 cup caramel sauce
Method
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a 4x8 in loaf pan.
Step 2
In a large bowl, combine the mashed bananas and melted butter. Stir in the baking soda, cinnamon, sugar, egg, and vanilla extract.
Step 3
Add in the flour and stir until just combined. Do not over mix! A few small lumps in the batter are okay. Evenly spread this mixture into your prepared loaf pan.
Step 4
Make the streusel topping by stirring together the flour and sugar in a small bowl. Add the cold cubed butter and use a fork to cut it into the dry ingredients to create small crumbs. Sprinkle this evenly on top of the banana bread batter.
Step 5
Bake for 55-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out mostly clean. After baking, set the bread on a wire rack to cool before drizzling the caramel sauce on top. Slice and enjoy!
