Ingredients

For the Caramelized Bananas:

For the bread:

  • 3/4 cup 150g brown sugar
  • ½ cup (113g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 7 tablespoons (103ml) milk (any kind)
  • 1 teaspoon vinegar or lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups (248g) all-purpose flour
  • Butter and granulated sugar for the pan

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9x5x3” loaf pan with butter and coat it with sugar. (You do this like you would grease and flour a pan. Grease it first, then add about 2 tablespoons sugar to the pan and move the pan side to side until the bottom and sides are coated with sugar.
  • Slice bananas. Melt spread in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add bananas, cooking until all the bananas are coated and the mixture is bubbly, just a few minutes. Remove bananas to a bowl to cool at least 5 minutes; mash with a fork.
  • Cream butter and sugar with a hand mixer.
  • Add bananas, eggs, milk, vinegar, and baking soda. Mix until combined.
  • Mix in flour until just incorporated. Pour into prepared pan.
  • Bake for 50-60 minutes until a toothpick comes out with just a few crumbs. The edges will be a dark brown and there will be a nice crack down the center.
  • Cool completely before removing loaf from pan, but you can cut slices from the pan after it’s cooled for about 15-20 minutes.
  • Store covered at room temperature. Freeze bread whole (wrapped well) or slices in sandwich bags for up to 3 months.
