Dessert Baking Banana Bread Comfort Food

Ingredients

3 ripe bananas
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1 cup brown sugar
1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs
1 tsp baking soda
a pinch salt
1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 350°F (347°F). Lightly grease a 9×5‑inch (23×13 cm) loaf pan with butter or non‑stick spray.
2
Slice the bananas thinly (about ¼‑inch thick) and arrange the slices in an even layer covering the bottom of the prepared pan.
3
Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the banana slices, then sprinkle the brown sugar over the buttered bananas, allowing it to begin melting into a caramel layer.
4
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all‑purpose flour, baking soda, and salt until fully combined; set aside.
5
In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs lightly, then stir in the vanilla extract and the mashed bananas until the mixture is smooth.
6
Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet banana‑egg mixture, folding gently with a spatula until just combined; avoid over‑mixing to keep the bread tender.
7
Pour the batter over the caramelized banana layer in the loaf pan, smoothing the top with the spatula so the batter reaches the pan’s rim.
8
Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted about 1‑2 inches from the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown.
9
Remove the loaf from the oven and let it rest in the pan for 10 minutes; this allows the caramel to set slightly and makes inversion easier.
10
Run a thin knife around the edges of the pan, then carefully invert the bread onto a serving plate so the caramelized banana side is on top. Allow to cool slightly before slicing and serving.
