This Caramel Banana Bread is Amazing! It’s the perfect treat to cure your cravings. Since the caramel sauce is drizzled on the banana bread it’s not too sweet and it’s absolutely delicious.

If you need to make a cake for an event, you could pass off this caramel banana bread as a caramel banana cake. I love baking banana bread in bundt pans to give it a fancy look. This is why the caramel banana bread could easily be mistaken for caramel banana cake.

Banana bread with caramel sauce is so easy to make.

Whenever I make my caramel banana bread everyone loves it! But what people don’t know is that this recipe is so easy! I can whip up banana bread and toss it in a fancy bundt pan in no time!

This is the best banana bread recipe! Not only because it tastes amazing, but it’s also cheap to make!

This recipe will only cost a few dollars to make, assuming you already have most of the dry ingredients in your kitchen cabinets. I usually have all of the dry ingredients in my cabinets, so I only need to go out and buy bananas and eggs.

Tips for purchasing bananas for banana bread:

When you purchase your bananas, think about when you plan on making this recipe. Ripe bananas are the best for this recipe. If you use bananas that are not ripe the banana bread will not be as sweet.

Can you use frozen bananas in banana bread?

Frozen ripe bananas work great as well. So if you have ripe bananas that you are not going to eat, toss them in the freezer until you are ready to make the banana bread. If you use frozen bananas there is just one extra step. Take the bananas out of the freezer and peel off the skin of the banana. Toss the bananas in a microwave safe bowl and heat them up for 1 minute increments until they get soft. Then you can continue with the rest of the banana bread recipe.

How to make Caramel Banana Bread

Banana Bread Ingredients:

1 ¼ cups of flour
1 cup of sugar
½ tsp of salt
1 tsp of baking soda
3 ripe bananas
2 eggs
½ cup of butter
1 ½ cups of chopped pecans (optional)

Caramel Sauce for banana bread:

25 baking caramel squares
2 tablespoons of heavy whipping cream

Directions:

Mix together the following ingredients in a large mixing bowl:

1 ¼ cups of flour
1 cup of sugar
½ tsp of salt
1 tsp baking soda

In a separate bowl mix together the following ingredients:

3 ripe bananas (Mash bananas with a fork. This makes it easier to mix the ingredients.)
2 eggs
½ cup of butter (Melt the butter in a separate dish, then add it to the rest of the ingredients.)
Mix the ingredients together.

Next Steps

Pour the mixture over the first bowl of dry ingredients and mix it together.
Grease a bundt pan or a loaf pan with cooking spray. (If you choose a bundt pan, it will make it look like a caramel banana cake.) Pour the mixture into the pan.
(Optional: Sprinkle chopped pecans on the top of the mixture and press down on them to make the pecans stick.)
Bake at 350 degrees for 50 minutes.
Take the bread out of the oven and let it cool.
Take a plate and gently flip the bread over on the plate so it will come out of the pan. Before attempting this step, make sure the bread is cool.
