Brought a loaf to my neighbor and she called five minutes later saying she needed the recipe! People seriously love this bread. Must express something to keep getting my recipes…. Thank you. I’ve put the recipe in the comments.

Some recipes are good. Some are great. And then there are a few rare ones that become legendary in your kitchen. This Salted Caramel Banana Bread falls firmly into that last category.

It starts off simple — a warm, buttery banana bread, soft and rich with perfectly ripe bananas and a hint of cinnamon. But what takes it over the top? A golden homemade salted caramel glaze that soaks gently into the bread and forms a shiny, sweet-salty shell on top.

Whether you’re serving it for breakfast, dessert, or a mid-afternoon treat, one bite of this and you’ll know why it never lasts more than a day in our house.

So if you’ve got a few bananas turning brown on the counter… don’t toss them. Bake this instead.

Ingredients You’ll Need
For the Banana Bread:
All-purpose flour – 2 cups
Baking soda – 1 teaspoon
Cinnamon – 1 teaspoon
Salt – ½ teaspoon
Brown sugar (packed) – ¾ cup
Butter (room temperature) – ½ cup (1 stick)
Eggs – 2 large
Sour cream – ⅓ cup
Ripe bananas (mashed) – 4
Vanilla extract – 1½ teaspoons
For the Salted Caramel Glaze:
Brown sugar (packed) – ¼ cup
Butter – 2 tablespoons
Heavy cream – 2 tablespoons

Tip: Use the ripest bananas you can find — the kind with lots of brown spots. They add the most flavor and moisture to your banana bread.
