Banana Bread with Caramelised Bananas
Ingredients:
Banana Bread
Caramel Banana Topping
Method:
Banana Bread
- Preheat oven to 180°C/160°C (fan-forced). Grease two 14 x 23cm (top measurement) loaf pans. Line bases and sides with baking paper
- Beat butter, sugar and vanilla in a large bowl of an electric mixer on medium speed for 5-7 minutes or until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition
- Sift flours, soda and mixed spice and fold into cake batter along with mashed banana. Divide evenly among prepared pans. Smooth over tops
- Bake for about 1 hour and 10 minutes, or until golden brown and a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Remove. Stand in pans 30 minutes. Turn out onto a wire rack to cool
Tips & Hints:
- Bananas are best when they are over-ripe.
- Mixed spice can be replaced with ground cinnamon, if preferred.
- Plain banana bread will keep for up to one week, stored in an airtight container.
- To freeze, wrap loaf tightly in cling film and place inside an airtight container or bag. Label and freeze for up to 2 months.
- Defrost in refrigerator overnight, slice and serve.
- Alternatively, slice and warm in microwave for 30 seconds on HIGH.
Caramel Banana Topping
- To make caramel bananas, peel and slice bananas into 1cm thick diagonal slices
- Melt half the butter in a medium frypan over medium heat. Add bananas and cook until edges turn golden brown. Remove from the pan
- Add remaining butter, sugar and cream and stir until sugar is dissolved. Gently boil for 1-2 minutes, or until thickened slightly. Remove from heat
- Arrange bananas over the top of one banana bread and spoon sauce over the top. Serve with extra sauce and cream or ice cream
Tips & Hints:
- This recipe makes enough caramelised bananas to top one loaf. Double the recipe to top two loaves.
