Description
This banana butterscotch bread is a delightful treat that combines the natural sweetness of ripe bananas with rich butterscotch chips.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 medium Ripe Bananas (the browner, the better)
- 1 large Egg (acts as a binder)
- 1/3 cup Vegetable Oil (or melted coconut oil for extra flavor)
- 3/4 cup Granulated Sugar (reduce if you prefer less sweetness)
- 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon (adds warmth)
- 1/4 teaspoon Ground Nutmeg (omit if you’re not a fan)
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt (balances sweetness)
- 1 teaspoon Baking Soda (essential for perfect texture)
- 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
- 1 cup All-Purpose Flour (or whole wheat flour for a lighter alternative)
- 1 cup Butterscotch Chips (or chocolate chips if desired)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, combine mashed ripe bananas, egg, vegetable oil, and granulated sugar. Mix well.
- Stir in ground cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, baking soda, and baking powder until blended.
- Gradually add the all-purpose flour, mixing just until combined.
- Fold in the butterscotch chips.
- Pour the batter into a greased 9×5 inch loaf pan and smooth the top.
- Bake for about 55 minutes, until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
- Allow the bread to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
- For best results, use very ripe bananas.
- Chilling the batter before baking can enhance flavor.
