Ingredients
  

  • For the Banana Bread:
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup packed brown sugar
  • ½ cup unsalted butter room temperature
  • 2 large eggs
  • ⅓ cup sour cream
  • 4 ripe bananas mashed
  • 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
  • For the Salted Caramel Glaze:
  • ¼ cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream
  • ⅓ cup powdered sugar
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions
 

  • Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
  • Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups of flour, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, and ½ teaspoon of salt. Set aside.
  • Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, beat ¾ cup of brown sugar and ½ cup of butter until creamy. Add 2 eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  • Combine Wet Ingredients: Add ⅓ cup sour cream, 4 mashed bananas, and 1 ½ teaspoons of vanilla extract to the sugar mixture. Beat until combined.
  • Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until combined. Do not overmix.
  • Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Make the Glaze: While the bread is cooling, prepare the glaze. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine ¼ cup brown sugar and 2 tablespoons butter. Bring to a boil and cook until the sugar has dissolved, about 1 minute. Stir in 2 tablespoons of heavy cream, then remove from heat. Add ⅓ cup powdered sugar and ½ teaspoon salt, whisking until smooth.
  • Glaze the Bread: Allow the glaze to cool for 5 minutes before pouring it over the cooled banana bread.
  • Enjoy: Slice and enjoy your salted caramel banana bread with a cup of coffee or tea.

Notes

For best results, use overripe bananas to achieve a sweeter, more flavorful bread. Allow the bread to cool completely before glazing to ensure the caramel glaze sets perfectly.
