Salted Caramel Banana Bread is an updated twist on a coffee shop classic. Delicious caramel drizzled over warm banana bread with a tiniest hint of salt. This a clearly a better banana bread!
Banana bread seems to be where 99% of the home bakers in the U.S.A get started. It’s a fairly basic recipe. I like this recipe because it includes sour cream, walnuts and real butter. For a better banana bread, you need better ingredients.
Salted Caramel Banana Bread is the best
But if you really want to rev your banana bread engine, adding a salted caramel glaze is the way to go! Allow your banana bread to cool for about an hour. After that time, you can start on making your salted caramel glaze. Drizzle and voila! Dreamy…
If you have guests stopping by, I suggest you leave making the glaze for your banana bread until it is time to serve. The ooey gooeyness is not a lasting effect and tends to soak into the banana bread. I adore the warm gooey glaze on top of this banana bread. Simply heavenly!
Pinch of Salt
If you are wary of flaked salt on top of your sweet bread, you can always mix the pinch of salt into the caramel glaze. I used flaked salt in my photos but after I tried the banana bread, I felt like it was too much salt. However, fine salt doesn’t show up on camera for a photo. Hence, flaked salt was the way to go. But home bakers may choose to go with fine salt which is perfect.
Salted Caramel Banana Bread may become your “go-to” banana bread in the future. It has just a little more pizazz than other banana breads. By the way, when sliced this banana bread freezes well. That way you can enjoy a toasted piece of banana bread every day!
