Caramel Macchiato Banana Bread

Caramel Macchiato Banana Bread

This caramel macchiato banana bread features a coffee-infused loaf and a rich caramel glaze. Baking banana bread is one of my favorite things to do. I love nothing more than enjoying a slice with a nice cup of coffee — that’s what inspired this recipe!

Ingredients :

• cooking spray
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ⅛ teaspoon salt
• 2 large very ripe bananas
• ½ cup caramel macchiato-flavored liquid coffee creamer (such as international delight)
• ⅔ cup white sugar
• ½ cup vegetable oil
• 2 eggs
• 2 tablespoons instant coffee granules
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 6 tablespoons packed brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 9x5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray.
2. Whisk flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt together in a bowl.
3. Mash bananas in a large mixing bowl with a fork until almost smooth. Stir in coffee creamer, sugar, oil, eggs, and instant coffee granules until coffee granules have dissolved. Gradually stir in flour mixture, about 1/2 cup at a time, until batter is almost smooth. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan.
4. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean, about 1 hour. Allow to cool before removing from pan, about 30 minutes.
5. While the bread is cooling, melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Mix in brown sugar and vanilla and bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve sugar. Reduce the heat and simmer syrup for 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool to a warm but liquid temperature.
6. Pour glaze over cooled banana bread. Serve when glaze has set.
