How to Make Banana Bread | Chef Studio Basics

I'm showing you how to make this caramel pecan banana bread with caramel toffee sauce. Yes, it really is as delicious as it sounds.

Caramel Pecan Banana Bread Recipe:

Banana Bread:
60 g (1/4 cup) butter
260 g (1 cup) packed dark brown sugar
2 large eggs
275 g (1 1/2 cups) all purpose flour
1 1/4 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
100 ml buttermilk
4 very ripe bananas
100 grams 1/2 cup pecans

Caramel Toffee Sauce:
260 g (1 cup) packed brown sugar
113 g (1/2 cup) butter
250 ml (1 cup) whipping or heavy cream
1 tbsp golden syrup or corn syrup

Alternate additions of the dry ingredients and buttermilk to the batter. Once those are both completely incorporated, keep the mixer going and add in four super ripe bananas and the chopped pecans.

Grease and line a loaf tin with parchment and pour in your batter.

Bake at 175 c or 350 f for about 45 minutes. Baking time always varies depending on your oven so make sure to check your banana bread periodically after the 30 minute mark to see how it’s doing. Once its firm to the touch and a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean, it’s done.

For the caramel toffee sauce, combine sugar, butter, cream and golden syrup in a pot and heat this for 5-10 minutes until all the sugar has dissolved and the sauce is a bubbling and rich golden brown. Take this off the heat and stir in vanilla then transfer to a shallow container and cool in the fridge. Once cool , transfer to a jar and store or serve.

To serve, slice up your banana bread, top with caramel toffee sauce, some pecans and some dried banana chips if you fancy.

I don’t want to say this is the best, most perfect banana bread you’ll ever eat, but if such a thing did exist, this would come pretty close. It’s moist but not too dense, rich, warming and an overall great combination of the flavours of pecan, caramel and banana.

What heat setting is used when cooking the caramel sauce?

Toast your pecans to level up its flavor profile. Mmmm

[thekiddocook]

Can i use normal milk instead of butter milk

[vincehomemade]

Yummy would be licking the bowl, beater, spoon and probably eat half the mix before baking!!!!
